Well it's said that this life is both brief and uncertain
A moment of sorrow a moment of care
Some walk to find loneliness haunts them like Judas
Some walk to find happiness vanquish the scared
And they'll widen the gap and they'll tell you you're ugly
They'll snap off your bow and they'll cut off your hair
They'll walk you right down to the garden you watered
They'll step on your love if you don't stand and say that you're there
It's so hard to find truth in this chaos
For chaos in truth is so certain it bears
But of this I am sure we are given a purpose
And choice is a wonder familiar and rare
And they'll hide in your thoughts and they'll call you a liar
They'll tighten the knot till you're struggling for air
And they'll wrinkle red plastic and call it a fire
And they'll burn out your love if you don't stand . . .
There
Well it makes me sad and it makes me furious
It makes me so mad that I almost despair
When we run from the one that we always desired
When we dance around everyone but our true care
And they'll spin you in circles then point to the tightrope
They'll deal you their cards and they'll tell you it's fair
And they'll listen for only what words they are after
And they'll steal all your love if you don't stand...
