The Thrill...( It's worth it )

Saints turn to sinners
and paupers to princes
lust turns to splinters
and winks turn to winces
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Strength crumbles to dust
and virgins to whores
ideals are soon musts
and skimmers soon soar
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rags turn to riches
and faith leads to ruin
brusies lace stitches
and nothing's worth doin'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Life soon finds death
and lungs breath no air
tears soon find breath
and bodies are bare
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Soft turns to scars
and farces find truth
near has become far
and thorns roughly soothe
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Love rides the hate
and battles are lost
fiction finds fate
and up jumps the cost
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Perfection is dwindled
and truth just cant see
naiviety is swindled
and shackles are freed
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Desire turns foolish
and thoughts sleep dormant
angels turn ghoulish
and love is pure torment
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hearts can turn bitter

........and they often will

Winners breed quitters

...........and it's all worth the thrill
