Why do people try
why do people care
How can they tell who's who
with all the masks you wear

No one tells the truth
But no one is quite lying
some are left behind
Alone-Sick-Dying

Some connive and cheat
Some lie and steal
Others are honest and sweet
And others hardly real

Yet we will all march on
Into a future unknown
Some will be left behind
Dying-Sick-Alone.
