Contemporary Sorrow

This is a song I wrote, for you.

Wear a smile to show the sunshine
When inside it only rains.
Bite your lip and force a smile
As pleasure turns to pain, to pain.

A dried up fountain full of feelings,
The feelings you deny.
While the eyes that shone so brightly
Turn dark and start to cry.

That wasn't very nice
In the Winter
When the trees turned grey
And the words you'd say
Would cut
Just like a knife
And I bade you well
But you could tell
I Lied
I Lied

Seek redemption in the shadows
Where sorrow has a name.
And all your lying is a poison
It poisons you with shame.

Pining for the word forever
In solitude again.
She was once so different;
He was still the same.
He was still the same.

In this place of fear and darkness
Where the colours no more shine.
Still thinking of the Beauty
For the hundred thousandth time.

Turn away and take your twelve-string
Self medicate in vain.
But this time it brings you closer,
Release and breathe again.
Again.

Farewell, from where the sun always shines, but only if you want it to...
