Inaccuracy of feelings cannot change true things
No matter how much your heart believes it so
Feeling like the world is rougher on its poor beings
Despite those feelings, the answer is no
---
When Mays come around, and it still snows
It doesn't mean the end of spring
And if you notice that those who love fishing still goes
Whenever the idea explodes in their heads like an alarms ring
---
The news isn't always good
But it's delivered at the highest of speed
And Chicago politicians care less about kids in the hood
When it comes to teaching the illiterate to read
---
The world has always been bad
It's enough to make the heart ache
It only feels like the world's more sad
Because, from you, your soul it would always take
---
It's always been as rough as today
It's not getting any worse or better
It's only been the attention to details you don't pay
Until you were forced to see the world getting redder
---
It's always been violent and harsh
Forever, since the dinosaurs ruled
The world's been a rough place since little things crawled from the marsh
Please don't let yourself be fooled
---
It is the times that make it feel so bleak
Not the world itself
It seems worse because our minds have gotten weak
And common sense was put to rest on a dusty old shelf
---
The world has always been as harsh as what you see
Even in such peaceful places as Sweden
Since the first of our kind came to be
Even in the Garden of Eden
---
Remember the stories of history past
There were just fewer when it began
The first murder between Cain and Abel would not be the last
No matter how much the poor bastards ran
---
The world has always been filled with darkness and light
From when there were just four
But one in four killed their own brother with angry delight
And began a path that would lead to many, many, many more
---
The world has always been
Just this messed-up blue ball in space
There was never going to be a way for humans to win
Toward death, we were all made to race

From fiction to reality there’s tons to share about this crazy life. From being a single father, an officer, and having had many insane adventures while I learned about the world, my imagination runs wild with ideas.
