about

Life's not always what you measure it up to be.

lyrics

Everyday, begins this way
I have taken things for granted now
No regrets and I’ll even say
I’m relieved to know you had your own flaws

Wordlessly, I watch you waste
The little truth that even I could not deny
Now I know, punishment
It is a hell of a state of mind

Illusions of yesterday
Figures in straw and clay
There were no signs that ever said
Danger is on the way

Heroes fall, diseased and cold
This time we won’t look the other way
Make believe, rescue me
It’s not our time to rewrite history

Illusions of yesterday
Figures in straw and clay
There were no signs that ever said
Danger is on the way.

It's life's curveballs preserved in lemon jello. Or something like that. ... more
