We are all dreaming the Same Fucking Dream

Different lives, but the same hunger, the same corruption, and the same ending.

__________________________

We are all dreaming the same fucking dream,

endless desires, with lust as the main theme

Born in the lap of fate, we aim to rise so high,

we laugh at each gain; on each misery we cry

Greed rules our hearts, neither love nor faith,

into the darkness we dwell, like a sniveling wreath

__________________________

We are all dreaming the same fucking dream,

pursuits are the same, different they may seem

Our journeys start with ambition, blood, and sweat,

our baggage is so heavy, all remorse and just regret

Our birth is by chance, but our death is so sure,

we praise the lofty God with hearts so impure

__________________________

We are all dreaming the same fucking dream,

gold, women, and land, we all hail, we all scream

Betrayals are abundant, and loyalty is so very rare,

blindly following the devil without any apparent care

It’s the sin that we seek and the virtue that we reject,

in the end, it’s just guilt; it’s all that we collect

__________________________

We are all dreaming the same fucking dream,

the purpose of life we forget, this we cannot redeem

That we have to hold hands, we have to serve others,

yet we kick the dog, ignoring that we are brothers

That we are all the same spirit, we are all part of God,

the system is all perfect, but the users are all flawed

You and Me – Human and Selfish

Each of us - you and me and even us all;

we walk and run, and sometimes we crawl

We laugh and shout, and we love and hate;

our feelings make our ego, a great big wall


Each of us hides within a giant black hole;

hungry enough to devour our very human soul

It’s our heaviest burden that we must carry;

life is the theatre, and it is our abhorrent role


Each of us floats along a dark river of pain;

winding through the valleys of loss and of gain

Our longest journey from birth till our death;

our miserable life – grey and filled with rain


Each of us is addicted to the drug of pleasure;

a sudden rush surging - no limit and no measure

This is our downfall and our biggest dilemma;

regret is the poison; there is no hidden treasure


Each of us is different, despite being the same;

yet we hate and we fight for name and fame

This is why we fail to grow, this is why we lose;

admitting weaknesses, a prospect filled with shame


All of us are one, yet we choose to tread alone;

fighting like rabid dogs when life throws a bone

This is the grand sin; this is why we are doomed;

we fail to hold hands, we always act for our own

You and Me – Us and Them

Each one of us – you and me and even us all;

we walk and we run and sometimes we crawl

We laugh and shout and we love and we hate;

so many feelings, yet our ego is a great wall

hungry enough to swallow the whole human soul

This is the heaviest burden that we must carry;

Each one of us floats along a dark river of pain;

Each one of us is addicted to the morphine of pleasure;

the sudden rush surging – no limit and no measure

This is our downfall and our biggest dilemma;

regret is the poison, there is no hidden treasure


Each one of us is different, each one of us is the same;

yet we hate each other, we fight for name and fame

becoming rabid dogs when life throws us a bone

This is the grand sin; this is why we always fail;

we fail to hold hands, we always act for our own
