Half Empty Lyrics

You only see a fraction of the picture
But that does not seem to prevent you from jumping to conclusions
Even if they happen to be
Rather far fetched

You feel far superior to those
With a different opinion
Not even attempting to look at the matter
From a different angle

You're ready to stir up animosity
Even with those you call your friends
Your half-baked opinions are
More precious for you

You should know better
And remember what's really important
What the real values are
That would be worth fighting for

You swear it is clearly half empty
And simply cannot be half full
While we cannot even know for certain
Whether or not "it" exists at all

You will keep on preaching
Until you are blue in the head
The failure of others to agree with you
Only further ignites your zeal

All the while you do not realize
Your focus should be on something else
What you so vehemently propagate
Is just chasing after the wind

You swear it is clearly half empty
And simply cannot be half full
While we cannot even know for certain
Whether or not "it" exists at all

Lift up your head
Stop staring into the mud
Set your eyes
Beyond the sky
