Ever wake from sleeping
more tired than before
ever open up a memory
when you thought you closed the door
ever think your whole life
is one big accident
ever think your lovers are
saying things they never meant
Ever take a step back before you step it up
ever have an ugly scar that never covers up
ever hear a phrase that makes you stop and think
makes it so you pour a little hard liqueur to your soft drink
When you don't know
the what is and what was
and everything you ever thought
has already been done
when everything that's beautiful
is made of only flaws
How can you live a life
breaking your own laws.
When you don't know
the what is and what was
and everything you ever thought
has already been done
when everything that's beautiful
is made of only flaws
How can you live a life
breaking your own laws.
Ever been torn between
what's been done and what too late
or too confused to choose
between the blade or the stake
Ever thought a smile
was your best defense
or accidentally made
irreversible consequence
Ever denied yourself
the only thing you've always wanted
Only to go on and on
about how you never got it
Ever said you'll start tomorrow
then realized it's ten years later
Ever lay your sword down
to find you are the traitor
When you don't know
the what is and what was
and everything you ever thought
has already been done
when everything that's beautiful
is made of only flaws
How can you live a life
breaking your own laws.
