Beautiful Fate

How do you know when you've done too much
One Favor for one person
Being kind to the touch

no matter what...

One favor for a life that feels like a dream
makes you feel like an angel

But without wings...

Hard work follows light
Smiles into tears
Cabin Fever headaches
Childhood fears

How can it be that everything you once wanted dear
turned everything to fear
wars turning dreams to horrible careers
all you loved forever becoming a truck's deer

It's all because one favor
which was meant to savor
One life and another
one man and two other

Made all that is heaven
into something that hurts like hell
