Protest Song #00 Lyrics by Give Up The Ghost

Year One

0

Well some things never change...
You'll never see this face again
I'm out sleeping with the stars in the shallow end
'Life' ('love') is just a word I don't want to say
I don't care if tomorrow is a new day
I'll write the song again
How about the one who thought life wasn't his friend?
Why would he want the words to be shared?
When no one listens, and no one cares
I'd skip this fucking song
If you don't want to know what's fucking wrong
Did you hear my acceptance speech?
I quit. I quit. I fucking quit."
You don't want to know why I can't quite talk
You don't want to know what makes my heart stop
You wrote my requiem
With no words, no life, just desperation
There's no truth like the lie I live
I'm a sinking ship drowning by a burning bridge
There's no cure for the "Dreamer's Disease"
I'm a boat of false hope, lost at sea
Today, tonight, tomorrow
I am truly by myself
You don't want to know why I can't quite talk
You don't want to know what makes my heart stop
You say those fucking words, but what the fuck do they mean? Nothing
Life is just a word that I won't say
Love is just a word that I'll never know
Life is just a game that I won't play
Love is just a lie that I won't believe
