lyrics

Mistakes were made during the therapeutic wars
Moral high-ground lost when the stakes were raised
The irreconcilable difference between here and there
This and that were the only thing to keep the peace
Shots are fired in every random direction
Hoping for the grace of accidental infliction of pain
Scorched earth tactics, no ways to renegotiate
Terms of a truce, an honest try at peace

A sudden thought takes flight
This was never beautiful, and it never could

Rewriting of the history done on all sides
Day after day the truth has changed and nothing now is gained
All the slights imagined or real rendered meaningless
Numbers on the scoreboard devoid of any truth
Last chapter comes for every story told
And players on this board hope it’s just more death
Rip the band-aid, slit the throat, shot straight in to the brain
Every way we can to speed the things along

A sudden thought takes flight
This was never beautiful, and it never could

And here are once again, looking back
Putting it to words to serve a purpose

What a waste of time to spend your life
Twisting the words to craft the lie
Making up a story of struggle and of grief
Much more beautiful than it could have ever been
That we could never be, that I could ever be

I could never be
