There stands the truth in front of me
As told by you so candidly
For me to siphon off the hate
A bitter taste
A wounded mate
I'm not the man I want to be
I fled with my found certainty
No matter how much love I gave
No amount from me could ever save
You fear the world
You hate yourself
You fill the books upon your shelf
With endless words and reasons why
The love between us was a lie
You blame me for the tragic end
You claim I was a broken man
You act so blameless yet again
And wield your righteous perfect pen
Oh but one day when the spotlight's gone
I hope you have the light of dawn
To shine its truthful gaze upon
The starry-eyed and youthful pawn
You carelessly for granted took
For one who would forever look
At you with all his endless faith
Oh but nothing lasts and nothings safe
Yes nothing lasts and nothings safe
Yes nothing lasts and nothings safe
I see us now for what we made
A life that from the outside looked
So perfect from a story book
But freedom is the breath of life
And now I'm on a path to find
A half of me that brings alive
The seed before I have to die
Please mother won't you stay alive
And father won't you see my bride
And bounce my baby with your pride
To see your spark take root to find
Another life that came to be
From honest love and honest need
I feel it now so tenderly
The kiss of what will come to be
