Sisyphus' boulder

from Betterman by Betterman

lyrics

I roll it up to the mountain
In the winter
After a knives rain
It gets heavier
No matter if I work hard
In the summer
The way is so far
Sun gets hotter

Maybe I should give up
There's no sugar in this cup
Overflow
What's the purpose of this stone
Your work is undone
Always falls

Give me a reason to explain
The absurdity of existence
Who tells me how to maintain
A lot of tasks which never end?

I know I left devotion
It's so rebel
Finding emotion
Coming from hell
Sometimes it's useless
If I were stronger
But it's meaningless
It's forever

I can't make any noise
'Cause the whisper is my voice
Hear me now
Gods don't forgive when
You have consciousness
Grief I saw

When I miss the fastest train
In turtle I have to trust
Even if my attempt is in vain
I feel I need to try
