Love (Never Again)

August 2009

The wolf is in the iris.
Emotions are a virus.
Love hurts more than hate.
I'm in love with my fate.
Don't tear me down like that,
I'm the camel and the gnat.
Strain me through a needle's eye,
I'll fade away and say, goodbye.

No one has power over me,
Not anymore, I am finally free.
On liberation day we did begin,
We chanted, "Never again!"
Never again shall we be chained,
Never again shall we be contained.
Never again shall we need to hide,
Never again will we have to run inside.

Break into my heart,
Just try and tear it apart,
I've got it rigged like T.N.T.,
I'd blow it up with sullen glee.
Don't tempt me, don't push my buttons,
Don't pretend you love me all of a sudden.
I'd self destruct before I'd cave,
I'd rather die free than ever behave.

I'm old enough to know whats real,
I no longer listen to what I feel.
Am I without hope, am I a lost?
Is my heart so cold its full of frost?
Bitter is the pill we call false love,
Like a bully, its pushes, it shoves,
Its in every taste I have ever had,
I'm so above this s**t making me sad.

Pity the lover, not the loveless.
Pity the blessed, not the cursed.
Pity the wealthy, never the poor.
Pity the best, never the worst.

If a magic genie came to me,
And offered anything I'd like to see,
I'd wish to pick a fight with love,
I wonder if it'd use boxing gloves,
Then again, it'd probably be bare
Knuckled, and fight mighty unfair,
I wonder who would draw first blood,
Then again, I think that is understood.
