Pine Box Parade

You're blinded by innocence
While I am left
To sit and endure
The tragedy of man

While brothers kill brothers
And families are hung
You fail to observe
The nature of your tongue

You constantly say
Things you'll never mean
You always leave with
The best of me

what in the world will make you see
you're a stranger to cruelty?

Call me despair if you lose your redemption
Even holy water can cast a reflection

These candid poems
Miss the betrayal
And homicides

Your smile
seems to forget
About all the fucking lies

I am bitter, worn, and bleak
(you're beautiful and young)
We differ too much to be
I'll always remember you
And all you've done for me.

Please keep me in your heart
Tonight in secrecy I depart
