change or die

 didn't deserve a thing so pure

you're so sure that you're so sure

always poisoned by your cure

"perfect past" is a lasting lure

 

all the love you sought

paid for with the pain it brought

every crush you caught

salt in the cut from the fight you fought

 

tomorrow won't come if we don't let it

can't believe the lie: "change or die"

felt the knife as soon as you said it

 

just stay out of the light

 

why does tomorrow seem so cold?

why does the dark make us feel so bold?

nothing lasts forever!

"not even never?"

not even never!

 

yesterday just seems so far

so ashamed of what you are

soft and sweet or incomplete

felt relief in your defeat

 

but there's a pain behind the violence

shame behind the silence

kept my tongue tied

kept the knife in my side

 

feeling slighted and unrequited

"the world ain't all bad..."

it only took all i had.
