THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...)
sad you don't respond
after all this time
still she holds you down
some sort of a crime
blowing every chance
to share honest love
is it only fear
that you place above
like a cloud that only rains on you
like I wall that only you see through
like a day that never had a night
or a dark that never has a light
just a one way street down a narrow line
pretending everything's still fine
getting real is not in your design
what's the point to go on with this rhyme
sad you don't return
after all this time
still she creates hell
out of the sublime
betraying yourself
can not much fun
wonder what you've got
when your day is done
a flower that refuses to bloom
a smile mask that becomes your tomb
have to wonder why you choose
a game that you can only lose
smear the fine line between right and wrong
pretend everything's where it belongs
getting real is not where you belong
what's the point to go on with this song
is agony your ecstasy
or is it just illusion
do you feel safe
in your cloud of confusion?
are you aware of everything
the things you lose, the song you sing
did you want life
to be one big contusion?
under make up in the softer light
is everything really alright?...
sad you don't recall
after all this time
the wonder of it all
the meaning of the rhyme
how can you live a lie
and still sleep at night
knowing what you've done
knowing you can make it right
a flower that refuses to bloom
a smile mask that becomes your tomb
have to wonder why you choose
a game that you can only lose
smear the fine line between right and wrong
pretend everything's where it belongs
getting real is not where you belong
what's the point to go on with this song
like a cloud that only rains on you
like I wall that only you see through
like a day that never had a night
or a dark that never has a light
just a one way street down a narrow line
pretending everything's still fine
getting real is not in your design
what's the point to go on with this rhyme
Sad You Don't
