Paradox Love is pain, pain is love, Like acid rain on the wings of a dove, Nothing to lose, nothing to gain, Because pain is love and love is pain. To heal is to hurt, to hurt is to heal, Pain is good when it makes you feel. Even when life doesn�t seem real, To heal is to hurt, to hurt is to heal. Lies are truth, truth is a lie, Words are weapons to make you cry. Always know that trust can die Because lies are truth and truth's a lie. Death is life, and life is death, You die a little with each breath Soon there will be nothing left For death is life, and life is death. Senseless You are dead, and I am angry Because your passing was such a
waste. The life you were given could have been special And yet it ended in such great haste. How could you have been so dumb? With gun in hand to seek a thrill� You never even stopped to think That what you held could easily kill. Drugs and alcohol and guns� Yes, they bring death, as you�ve found out. You have gone, and we�re still here Still so angry, yet I can�t shout� Because who would I be yelling to? A cold, stone marker or a newly-filled
grave? What good would all my fury do? Your life, my words are too late to save. A Simple Truth You lied to me with your eyes You lied to me with smiles You lied to me to keep me here By your side awhile. You lied to me with actions You lied to me with words You lied to me in so many ways That I never even heard. You lied to me with thoughts of love You lied to me with tears You lied to me as you tried to soothe All of my secret fears. You lied to me in artwork You lied to me with time You lied as you handed me your heart And lied more when you crushed mine. Lie upon lie you handed me For nearly two long years And now I lie as I tell myself That you aren�t worth my tears. |
