What Was and What Is True

naw, you aren't going to die
probably not even bleed
everyone is expendable
everything can be replaced
naw...you aren't going to die

yeah, it's easy to go on without me
you'll do more than just get by
so much more you can do now
with all of that free time

from my one-sided perception
I'll just keep filling these pages
you may pen one too
lyrics filled with vagueness

only you knew the difference
'tween what was and what is true
I should have read today's paper
instead of yesterday's news

naw, you aren't going to die
probably not even bleed
everyone is expendable
everything can be replaced
naw...you aren't going to die
I found out neither will I
