The Lie

Tonight a child came to life
And his parents were proud in this night of july.
Yeah, proud, his dad held him up
Looking deep in the eyes of an exhausted wife.
Who would've thought the first thing he said to his son
Was the biggest lie, the biggest lie.
He promised him a clear future away from the monsters
So he'll never suffer, he'll never suffer.
"Oh son, welcome to life,
It's a long bright trip, you'll never be sick.
Yeah we're gonna be a united family you'll see,
Taking care of each other, away from the fire."
And that's were it begins with the biggest lie,
A cradle tale repeated a million times.
Cause Dad he loves the bottle and Mom's into needles,
So they never suffer, never suffer.
The lie's been told once again,
Like a millennial obsession, the bad seed remains.
It's becomes easier each time,
We all learn it from the start, learn it from the start,
We all, we all dance with the lie.
Today a man came home
With a bunch of flowers for his baby lover,
Hoping that the perfume of so many roses
Would cover the smell of his last excess.
He said: "Oh dear, I love you so,
For better, for worse, until the end of time."
And so it continues with the biggest lie,
So she won't suffer, no she won't suffer.
The lie's been told once again,
Like a millennial obsession, the bad seed remains.
It's becomes easier each time,
We all learn it from the start, learn it from the start,
We all, we all dance with the lie.

The Man and The Gun

He sat alone, alone beside a stone. He said:
"It has to be done when daylight comes.
I must be strong, because it has to be done.
It must be done when daylight comes"
It's beating fast in his heavy heart tonight,
The blood pressure's unbearable.
An empty bottle on the floor, two bullets and a pen,
The blood pressure's unbearable.
"You deserve the flames,
You've always made the wrong decisions.
Now, be a man and go to hell,
You know what you need to do.
You've always been a bag of hurt
For all the people around.
Now, with what's left of your life,
You've got the chance to do something useful."
"I don't know what to write on this blank page covered in shame,
Don't you think I should step back?
And I don't even know what could be my last will,
Don't you think I should think twice?"
"You must understand
That I was made to blast your head,
Not to hear your complain
About the path you chose to follow.
Through hard candy and facility
It could have only ended badly,
Maybe not the way you wanted it to be
Just the way you deserve it to be.”
"I could have made it right if I had a family,
A girl, a kid, a will to live, a solid education,
Could have been a proud father's son,
A glossy pearl in a mother's eye, a shoulder for a brother.
One day I heard the wind say we all can start over again,
That pain was an illusion growing deep in every man,
That it always has a plan, but how to make it fail
When your speaking with a gun that you've already loaded?
When you're holding a trigger that you've already pulled?
You're dead.”
