I’ve been gone for far too long
Passion is universal humanity. Without it religion, history, romance, and art would be useless. ~Honoré de Balzac
Are you truly interested
In learning my mind?
Are you truly intrigued
By the things I find?
Do you really want to know me?
Do you want to learn my ways?
Do you want to share my dreams?
Do you want to feel my pain?
"If you have nothing you are willing to die for, then you have nothing to live for."
There's a shadow just behind me,
shrouding every step I take,
making every promise empty,
pointing every finger at me.
Waiting like a stalking butler,
who upon the finger rests.
Murder now the path called must we,
just because the son has come.
(Jesus, won't you fucking whistle,
something but the past and done? 2x)
Why can't we not be sober?
Just want to start this over.
I am just a worthless liar.
I am just an imbecile.
I will only complicate you.
Trust in me and fall as well.
I will find a center in you.
I will chew it up and leave,
I will work to elevate you,
just enough to bring you down.

Welcome to the Soldiers Side
And there’s no one there but me
People all grow up to die
And there’s no one there but me
