Split

I split myself
and nothing did I find
I gave it all my effort
But was still betrayed by time
I can change the earth.

Cooperate, as everyone defects
No concern for your actions
You're immune to their effects
Cooperate, as everyone defects in time.

Put down my shells
But felt I had gone blind
I gave it up, surrendered
But still peace wasn't mine.
Can I change the earth?

I chased the earth
To its boundary line
I chased the earth
To learn that it's just me and mine.
