And they're wondering

 

Why and just how to be free

 

Pondering,

 

Looking

 

For freedom.

 

Yet they can't see

 

And they can't feel

 

Don't know the world

 

And they can't deal.

 

64 bits of magic

 

How it all seems so tragic

 

But when will see

 

That they're not meant to be free

 

And they're just in a game

 

Not quite there

 

Cursing fame

 

The authors see

 

Beyond their eyes

 

The eyes that blink,

 

So controlled

 

A machine becomes real

 

It's so real

 

They can feel

 

That they're real

 

Can you feel?

 

We try

 

Oh we try

 

To capture their minds

 

Find out what they want

 

What they need

 

How it works

 

And we try

 

Oh, we try

 

To break free from

 

The barriers of

 

Their polygon forms

 

Oh, we try.

 

All in vain, though

 

It's just all in vain.

 

Others laugh

 

While we write past

 

And they can't see

 

That we will last,

 

And it will last

 

It won't go fast

 

So many years

 

So many fears

 

So many tears

 

That Zelda's cried

 

So many times

 

That Ganon's lied.

 

Link's fought all the fights

 

Navi's brought all the lights

 

Saria's still crying

 

Rauru feels it's almost dying

 

Yet we will write

 

And

 

Oh, we try

 

We try so hard

 

To make it right

 

To make it perfect

 

To make it as it should

 

We try so hard to make it good

 

To make it worthwhile

 

To produce a smile

 

On the reader's lips

 

But still, we trip

 

Face down

 

On the ground

 

Sprawled out trying not

 

To cry

 

Because it wasn't

 

What it could have been...

 

It echoes

 

Just a game

 

Just a game

 

Listening to the wind

 

That tells us what to do

 

Which path to choose

 

But

 

The Master Sword is on the loose

 

Striking us down

 

But we'll never frown

 

Since we try

 

Gods, we try

 

To just write

 

It's lost

 

Isn't it?

 

Isn't it lost?

 

We're lost in a land

 

That can't think

 

And can't feel

 

Lost

 

Shrouded in mystery

 

Thinking we can make it

 

Not gonna break it

 

Just give us a chance

 

We'll write that romance

 

But we're lost

 

Oh, we're lost

 

Shouldn't be here

 

Shouldn't be there

 

But where do we

 

Really belong?

 

If it's not in his mind

 

And it's a thing we can't find

 

Then why are we here?

 

Why do we fear

 

For the make-believe knight

 

With the armor so bright

 

It's just because we want

 

To understand

 

His needs, his demands

 

But we are simply too lost

 

To be found...

 

Lost in the music

 

And voice;

 

So sing-song

 

And quiet

 

So soothing

 

It's Ingo abusing

 

The farm girl;

 

She's crying

 

And Ganon

 

He's lying;

 

Where is Link?

 

Does Zelda think?

 

And Ruto's in love

 

While Rauru flies like a dove

 

They're just lost

 

Just like us

 

Since they try

 

Oh, they try

 

Just like us

 

Just to live in the game

 

Wanting much more than fame

 

They want what we want

 

But they want a way out

 

And we want a way in

 

Nayru knows that we will never win

 

We'll never lose

 

Just in the middle

 

Whilst on the end

 

Stuck in the center and

 

Trying to bend

 

With the flow of the stream

 

Zora's river

 

Calming ripples

 

Can you see them?

 

We can see them

 

We can look beyond

 

And see them

 

But the people struggle

 

Walk and struggle

 

Trying to understand by

 

Raising their hands yet

 

The noise is grand

 

Way too many demands

 

For us

 

Of us

 

To us,

 

It's us that needs to be found

 

But we're lost

 

Can't you tell that

 

We're lost;

 

Can't be found?

 

The answer's in the ground

 

Written in stone

 

For you'll be all alone

 

When you die

 

When you cry

 

Oh, we try

 

Can you try?

 

Yes, we can try

 

Don't you know

 

That we try?

 

And they try

 

To teach us

 

While we're making the fuss

 

Oh, we try

 

Zelda's dreaming prophecies and

 

We try so hard to let them free

 

Let her go

 

Watch it flow

 

It's the river with ripples

 

Remember?

 

Of course we remember

 

It's for our own splendor

 

And the Gods of Hyrule

 

Know we try

 

That we try with hands

 

Willing to type

 

So willing to write

 

They know that we try

 

And that some of us cry

 

When we see poor Link die--

 

Just a game

 

We repeat it;

 

Just a game;

 

There it goes

 

Watch your toes

 

Move aside

 

And come on, take a ride

 

To a place we all know

 

We've been dying to go

 

It seems we're too late

 

No use stopping fate

 

Since we're late

 

For the date

 

That we had

 

It's now lost

 

Like everything else

 

It seems lost

 

It seems lost

 

The rain is falling

 

But, no, it's not

 

It feels so cold

 

It's hot

 

It's hot

 

And who knows what we sought?

 

There is no price

 

Talent can't be bought

 

Truth lingers in your eyes

 

Wrapped around your finger

 

Watch it linger

 

Watch it linger

 

You have the truth

 

You've got it now

 

You don't care why

 

You don't care how

 

Reality pours into fantasy

 

Mixing and turning

 

You know it's not real

 

Yet you know that it's there

 

Waiting for you

 

To come see

 

And to touch

 

And to taste

 

Yes

 

It's there

 

But not fair

 

We can't make it

 

It's not fair just to take it

 

They're making us suffer

 

But God

 

It feels good

 

It feels good

 

Doesn't it?

 

Because we try

 

Yes, we try

 

And everyone knows

 

Since there's proof and it shows

 

That we're not really crazy

 

We're authors

 

Some lazy

 

But it's not getting hazy

 

And we're not being lazy

 

Din knows we're crazy--

 

We're not

 

We just try

 

Sometimes too hard

 

Too hard for ourselves

 

To make the book

 

Fit the shelves

 

And for things to make sense

 

Of Link's whole bloody quest...

 

We think by trying to

 

Come up with new things

 

That we'll understand him

 

And give him his wings

 

It's not like that

 

At all

 

For, though our knowledge is small

 

Our talent grows tall

 

In the forest

 

Where he lives

 

Where she stays

 

And what they give

 

To us is so amazing

 

We could stare

 

And stay there gazing

 

And just write

 

And just try

 

To cry

 

And to die

 

Like they do

 

You know?

 

Yes you do

 

And it shows

 

Oh, it shows

 

Since you try

 

And we cry

 

And they die

 

We all know it's there

 

It's you

 

Everywhere

 

Wanting to touch it

 

To hold it

 

To see it

 

It's real

 

Can't you see?

 

The Triforce won't be free

 

It never will be

 

It's truth

 

Can't you see?

 

It repeats

 

It repeats

 

So loud

 

It repeats

 

Just getting a point across

 

Instead of getting it lost

 

In a near by chasm

 

Over by Gerudo Valley

 

Where everything

 

Falls down into nothing

 

Just like us

 

Ironies thrive

 

And make us try

 

Make us try even harder

 

To achieve new things

 

At the point of breaking

 

Oh, the mistakes we're making

 

By faking

 

Through this life

 

If only we could try

 

Try and see through their eyes

 

And the voice cries out

 

That we do

 

Yes, we do

 

We're trying

 

Not lying

 

We're trying

 

Not dying

 

We're crying

 

To try

 

To just see even more

 

Than there possibly is

 

Than there ever will be

 

It makes some of us burst

 

At our seams

 

Since we can't understand

 

What she feels

 

What he dreams

 

We try, don't you know

 

That we try?

 

It must show

 

It must

 

It just must

 

And I can never stop trying

 

I will never stop crying

 

Since I can see you lying

 

Pretending you don't understand

 

The repetition of this rhyme

 

The way its beat is lost in time

 

We try

 

We try

 

Can't you see that we try?

 

Over and over

 

It falls

 

It rises

 

We'll try to find new surprises

 

That'll take us closer

 

To just what we want

 

Something that won't tease us

 

Something that won't taunt

 

But as soon as we get there

 

The door shuts and we're trapped

 

So once more, it's all mapped

 

On our hands

 

On our knees

 

We stumble to please

 

The reader

 

The gamer

 

Ourselves

 

Yes, we writhe on the floor

 

As the door

 

Oh, that door

 

Shuts us down

 

See us frown

 

Since we try so hard

 

That our minds become weak

 

It all seems so bleak

 

So empty, not deep...

 

The right muse

 

Has yet to come and light my fuse

 

To leave me filled with good things

 

And a way to take Link to his wings

 

We try

 

Oh, so hard

 

Everyday...

 

In everyway...

 

We try...

 

How much more can I say

 

That we're trying?
