Side A: Question

I see that mournful look in your eyes
As you listen to the drone of cicada's cries
The question that you're afraid to ask
Just how long must the suffering last?

Day after day, and year after year
Continuing to put up with the fear
Another failure, so start again where you left
Wearing a smiling mask as you press reset

Side B: Answer

I can't let this happen again
Trying so much to no end
Looking for an answer that doesn't exist
A temptation that I could not resist

The closer I get, the harder I fall
But I still go on, hoping to end it all
As I open my eyes to a brand new day
I ready myself and prepare to replay
