| All the Paper | ||||||
| All the Paper in the world Could not inspire me enough To write what I need to say to you But here it goes anyway Meeting you was a test of fate Becoming your friend was my choice But loving you, that was beyond my control Loving you, was giving you the power To hurt me beyond repair And trusting you not to use it But life had it out for us; Enjoyed our pain People laughed as we withered and died They just cut our wrists like cheap coupons And said that death was on sale that day How clever they are Too look inside I don't know why they bother All they'll find is suicide And maybe a hint of remorse, Some dry blood And the illusion that we Did something with our lives How cliche Don't you think? That we died of a broken heart Or a broken home Or a broken soul ...But nothing comes And nothing goes If you look beyond all my Stupid words Behind the metaphors and such All you'll find Is a blank page Filled with my emptiness Utterly transparent That's encrusted with your essence And your lies |
