Can't build a castle in your head Then complain that nothing you see looks like it Nothing ever looks like it. This isn't what you want it to be But nothing ever will be. Can't draw an angel with your blood Then complain that no one's ever good enough That perfection isn't love. It's never who you want it to be But you'll always be betrayed by that desire and that dream. Stop trying to convince yourself That it will be worthwhile Because you'll miss all the action whilst you wait for better things to happen. It's time to stop running away for a second And stand still in the moment Not every place you land Will be quicksand. It's time to stop dying inside for a second Just remember all the moments When every breath you took was laughter. To the truth I must surrender It's not going to get any better This is my resignation letter To every little hope I fell for Every brittle love I lied for ...That fool in me is dead. That fool in me is dead Desire no longer persists Against this heartless kiss That bites my tongue into bits. If I've learned disillusion, why can't I apply it? Every time that I mistake a passion for a life line A lover for a lifetime Fireworks for landmines. You can figure out the answers and wrap them up in bitterness But having cynicism makes no fucking difference It will not protect you From having your heart broken From losing all your loved ones.
