Half-Truism

One is for envy and one just for spite The cuts in my heart, they show in your eyes Don't make it better, the twisting knife turns all by itself on to someone else Your self-liberation will leave this behind (oh, oh-oh-oh) Beyond slings and arrows that rain on our minds (oh, oh-oh-oh) You'll make it better, shake it off, it never mattered anyway (oh, oh) If we don't make it alive Well, it's a hell of a good day to die All our light that shines strong Only lasts for so long And it's ashes to ashes again Should we even try to pretend? All our light that shines strong Only lasts for so long The banner you're waving is burning and red It's blocking the sunlight that shines overhead You against the world, diamonds and pearls voices inside you churn, watch the city burn Your own liberation will leave them behind (oh, oh-oh-oh) All the slings and arrows that rain on your mind (oh, oh-oh-oh) Don't make it better, break it 'cause it never mattered anyway (oh, oh) If we don't make it alive Well, it's a hell of a good day to die All our light that shines strong Only lasts for so long And it's ashes to ashes again Should we even try to pretend? All our light that shines strong Only lasts for so long I Won't Calm Down The banner you're waving (the banner you're weaving) Is burning and red (is burning and red) You against the world, diamonds and pearls, it never mattered, mattered, mattered, anyway If we don't make it alive Well, it's a hell of a good day to die All our light that shines strong Only lasts for so long And it's ashes to ashes again Should we even try to pretend? All our light that shines strong Only lasts for so long All our light that shines strong Only lasts for so long
