Life Is Romance

Who couldn’t say life is romance?
For what is pain? Suffering? Ecstasy in anothers arms?
Why is war romantic, its brutal and bloody
Like getting your heart ripped out!

Everything is Everything...
Think about that
Totally connected, totally disconnected from everyone
oh yes, life is romance.

Spiteful, hurtful, and delicious
the pleasure drives us on
the pain makes us retreat
We crawl inside our bottles, and... 
write ourselves to sleep
