The Latest Plague
The Latest Plaque
Love songs for the genuinely cunning
Only breathing with the aid of denial
Realize that you condemn yourself--
Can’t help yourself
After all these years
My heart is no longer sore
This is what we live for
To trust and lie and forget
This is what we die for
My words to you--
Unspoken
Fade like the wind
Without a passing glance
This is what we die for
There’s no sympathy for the dead
But your memory,
It haunts me
Memories never die
And scars never heal
We die complete
This is what we die for
Untold stories
Are painted in black and white
Secrets we never tell
Are vibrant colors on the wall
I walk with shadows
And this is what we die for
Love songs for the genuinely cunning
Only breathing with the aid of denial
Realize that you condemn yourself--
Can’t help yourself
After all these years
My heart is no longer sore
This is what we live for
To trust and lie and forget
This is what we die for
My words to you--
Unspoken
Fade like the wind
Without a passing glance
This is what we die for
There’s no sympathy for the dead
But your memory,
It haunts me
Memories never die
And scars never heal
We die complete
This is what we die for
Untold stories
Are painted in black and white
Secrets we never tell
Are vibrant colors on the wall
I walk with shadows
And this is what we die for
