Through Hardships to Hardships

Ideals aren't the only thing that weighs heavier over the years
I resist the swan song
Not only are the said ways rough, so too is the shell
A thick skin has been missing for so long
 
Honesty, which never lasted long, rather lasted shorter
And eventually, you'll see
In the end, only kindred spirits remained companions
But most of the time you were completely alone
 
You wanted to give heart blood, but not to the vampires
No praying nor stake helped
We were naïve children and they were wild animals
We stayed in the minority
 
Close to self-deception
And always too grim
I ask myself: was it wise?
I am far from being smart enough
 
Through hardships to hardships, Through hardships to hardships
Has the dream of living brought nothing but drudgery?
Through hardships to hardships, Through hardships to hardships
And if I had guessed, I would not be reversed
The road is never the destination, only I have reached it
Through hardships to hardships, and nothing is ever easy
 
One wonders if one was ever ready for it
And if and what you might win
But all questions are in vain, it was inevitable
In the end, we are who we are
 
Close to self-deception
And always too grim
I ask myself: was it wise?
I am far from being smart enough
 
Through hardships to hardships, Through hardships to hardships
Has the dream of living brought nothing but drudgery?
Through hardships to hardships, Through hardships to hardships
And if I had guessed, I would not be reversed
The road is never the destination, only I have reached it
Through hardships to hardships, and nothing is ever easy
 
Close to self-deception
And always too grim
I ask myself: was it wise?
I am far from being smart enough
 
Through hardships to hardships, Through hardships to hardships
Has the dream of living brought nothing but drudgery?
Through hardships to hardships, Through hardships to hardships
And if I had guessed, I would not be reversed
The road is never the destination, only I have reached it
Through hardships to hardships, and nothing is ever easy
The stars firmly in view, every step was torture
Through hardships to hardships, we never had a choice
