Half-Truism

One is for envy and one just for spite The cuts in my heart, they show me your eyes Don't make it better by twisting knife Turns all by itself, on to someone else Your self-liberation, we'll leave this behind Beyond slings and arrows that rain on our minds You'll make it better shaking it off It never mattered anyway If we don't make it alive, it's a hell of a good day to die All our light that shines strong only lasts for so long And it's ashes to ashes again, should we even try to pretend? All our light that shines strong only lasts for so long The banner you're waving is burning and red It's blocking the sun light that shines overhead You against the world, diamonds and pearls Voices inside you churn, watch the city burn Your own liberation will leave them behind All the slings and arrows that rain on your mind Don't make it better break it 'cause It never mattered anyway If we don't make it alive, it's a hell of a good day to die All our light that shines strong only lasts for so long And it's ashes to ashes again, should we even try to pretend? All our light that shines strong only lasts for so long I won't calm down The banner you're waving is burning and red You against the world, diamonds and pearls It never mattered, mattered, Mattered anyway If we don't make it alive, it's a hell of a good day to die All our light that shines strong only lasts for so long And it's ashes to ashes again, should we even try to pretend? All our light that shines strong only lasts for so long All our light that shines strong only lasts for so long --- Half-Truism - The Offspring
