when hurt is your constant companion
and love is your perpetual bliss
the biggest curse
is denying a heartfelt kiss

when the things you like
can never be achieved
when what you want
you never receive

after all the shit
they put you through
you get stuff that's old
when you want something new

each truth is a lie
and each lie is the truth
you act prim and proper
when you're unkempt and uncouth

you die when you live
you cry and you pray
you call out to the heavens
on each newborn day

lying in the name of truth
to save you from hurt
an unrelenting cycle
starting from birth

people you miss
you try to not think
yet you remember them
in each second you blink

try as everyone might
from the aged or the youth
you end up the same
lying in the name of truth
