Pointless

I’m traveling in circles
Just going round and round
I thought it all had a meaning
But it’s all so pointless now

What’s the point in living your life
If you’ll eventually die
Should you even bother saying hello
If you’ll have to say goodbye

There's no use in writing
When the letters just disappear
What’s the use in talking
If my words never reach your ears

I can't wish for tomorrow
When I haven’t gotten through today
Why try to stop the motion of the earth
When it’s already underway

There's no need to keep on hoping
When my needs are impossible to meet
You can't keep on dancing
When there is no steady beat

What’s the point in fighting
In a war that can't be won
Why try to catch my breath
When all the air is gone

It's insane to keep on running
When this road will never end
Why should I abide by the law
When I know the rules can bend

I’m traveling in circles
Just going round and round
I thought it all had a meaning
But it’s all so pointless now
