'Peace and Love' both admirable traits
but to some they're a lamentable farce
and saying the phrase long and loud
won't ever make them come to pass
known to act naturally (it don't come easy)
a certain famous drummer someone
has oft been heard to quote
those self-same words but not in fun
while forever holding up (4) fingers
(2) in the form of a 'V'
yet if it really makes him happy
then it's plenty good enough for me
I was once a kid,
Trying to be rid
Of the thoughts of awful feelings inside
And consuming last minute pride
I was living life by chance
I danced the dance of love enhanced
I was giving up true romance
I danced the fancy dance and pranced
I sung the lonely song of lament
With tears building up in my eyes
I lost a lung, singing loud and confident
I can see the truth behind your lies
Denied the fact that I’m still in love with the hatred
You put me through along with unnecessary dread
Instead, don’t even call me on my cellphone
Because I’ll be fighting this battle alone
You picked a bone with me
You screwed me up with ecstasy
You threw a brick at my tree
You’re barking up the wrong envy
I’m swallowing this sea of shimmering shame
Blame me for your wretched wrongs you’ve done
Is what you have done with my horrid heart flame
I came undone in your arms and we had our fun
I’m a jar without its lid
You tried so hard to bid
Me a farewell and oh well
If I told you to go to hell
mournful bleak tragic
wretched maternal forlorn
her calf's been taken
.
Rodin
Rodin
Dante inspired that kiss
The truth be told
half this earth has
felt those soft
yet
lamentable lips
We all do things we are afraid of
we lie and kill in the same breath
redemption is hard to come by
when you walk with the shadow of death
