IT SEEMS SO POINTLESS (Lyrics)

[Scroll down to below the lyrics to listen]
Always keep on talking
When you've nothing more to say
Incessantly keep moving
Or your life just slips away
Struggle hard for freedom
When you've won the war of peace
Nothing left to fight for
But still the fighting doesn't cease
Pointless living on
But still more pointless just to stop
Stop the world from spinning
Let one refugee get off
Waiting on the launchpad
In an aluminium tower
Counting down to blast off
In another half an hour
Destination Universe
The emptiness of space
Timeless, endless void
Where humans haven't a place
Stay there, and you're nothing
Till your retro-boost turns on
Returns you to this rat race
Where if pointless, you belong
What does it mean to belong?
Did we belong all along?
Or where did we go wrong?
It seems so pointless!
Pointless!
Aching vision, eyes of searing steel
All my memories of you
Saturation in my spinning mind
Cold and lonely in the dew
Pins and needles, left eye
Right eye trickles tears
Horror, hate, confusion
I can't think
Break, destroy, get out of here
But I can't move
Drown in sorrow
Should I have a drink?
It's no good
On my own
Must I always be
All alone?
It seems so pointless!
Glands malfunctioning and stomach-ache
Will I turn against my friend?
Those I think I love - the games we play
Is it worth it in the end?
Black despair - cry out, "amnesia, help forget!"
Restless feet - can't take it - what to do?
Suspended animation or another front?
Run, restart, or wait and see it through?
It's no good
On my own
Must I always be
All alone?
It seems so pointless!
It seems so pointless!
Pointless!
Always keep on caring
When you've nothing left to feel
Let your heart stay open
So your wounds can slowly heal
Struggle through the conflicts
That erupt deep in your mind
When it all feels pointless
Seek out love, reach out, be kind
When compassion takes the foreground
Depth and meaning can break through
Despair is an illusion,
Only love reveals what's true
