"REALITY"
©1997 words & music EVERBLUE MUSIC CO. & ESOTAËRIC MUSIC
"Life sucks & then you die" The person who said this obviously knew the first two truths of
the Buddha,
that #1- LIFE IS SUFFERING & #2- SUFFERING IS CAUSED BY DESIRE. Once you
accept
these concepts, life is easier to bear. But until then, Reality is a cruel teacher."
BITTER & TWISTED, OBSESSED & DERANGED
THE TRUTH THAT WE WORSHIPED, HAS COME HOME AGAIN.
LAST WEEK YOU LOVED ME, BUT THIS WEEK IT'S CHANGED
THE VOWS THAT YOU'VE TAKEN, WERE WRITTEN IN BRAILLE.
IF YOU BURY YOUR HEAD IN THE SAND NOW
IT'LL JUST BLOW YOU AWAY...
REALITY... REARS IT'S UGLY HEAD, ONCE AGAIN...
YOU CAN BLINDLY HOLD ONTO, YOUR INNOCENCE OF YOUTH
YOU CAN CURSE ME & CRY OUT, BUT IT JUST AIN'T NO USE.
THE WORLD IS A BITCH BABE, NOW JUST LIKE YOU
THE LEAST THING SO PRECIOUS, YOU HELD WAS THE TRUTH.
IT CAN HURT SO MUCH YOU CAN'T STAND IT
BUT WHAT THE HELL YOU GONNA DO?...
REALITY... REARS IT'S UGLY HEAD, ONCE AGAIN...
IF I GOT ON MY KNEES BABE, BOWED DOWN & PRAYED
SACRIFICED AT YOUR ALTER, & IDOLS I MADE.
WOULD MERCY CONSOLE ME, & PITY BRING SAVIOR
OR WRATH BEFALL, THIS POOR MORTAL SLAVE?
FORGIVENESS I'M TOLD CAN CLEANSE THE SOUL
BUT TOO LITTLE TOO LATE IS LIKE NEVER KNOWING...
REALITY... REARS IT'S UGLY HEAD, ONCE AGAIN...
THERE'S A FORTUNE IN LYING I GUESS
IF YOU REALLY CAN'T SPARE THE CHANGE.
IF IN THE COURSE, OF LIVING YOU MISS
WELL IT'S ALL JUST PART OF THE GAME...
