[hometext] => This song was written July 10, 2002, after I experienced my first bout of depression in weeks. A close friend, whom I trusted and couldn't believe would ever turn their back on me, finally did. More than shock me, it pierced my heart. When someone close to you betrays you, even though it may only be one single person, it can seem like your world is crashing down around you, and in this case, like everything's "gone grey" from the lies.
The song also has mixed emotions regarding my own ideals, particularly those involving the usage of drugs and alcohols. Of course, you'd have to dig very deep into this song to interpret that way yourself. Either way, enjoy. This song goes out to anyone who's ever been stabbed in the back by a friend whose pride was more important to them than their friendship. Never give up trying to make new friends just because old ones don't stick with you... [bodytext] => VERSE ONE: ========== Victimization with a gravitational pull Emptiness and nothingness within my soul It never ceases to amaze me How everything can fade away in time It seems like a promise these days means less and less And everyone’s all but lost their common sense The truth is a lie and a lie is worse yet Who can I trust when nobody is left VERSE TWO: ========== Somebody tell me what’s going on This spoonfed negativity’s got me feeling like I’m wrong I’m the scapegoat – the textbook example The dictionary definition of what the typical can’t handle But still I find myself in other’s shoes Fighting a battle that I can’t help but lose Every end to the means is a dead one And every prospect of security is gone CHORUS: ======= The truth is a lie and a lie is worse yet So who can I trust when nobody is left The scars on my back remind me every day Every predator disguised as a friend leaves a price to pay BRIDGE: ======= Where do I go – my eyes are blind Hiding me from the pain – gone grey from the lies And I can’t stand it – I can’t hold my head up There’s a transparent mass on my mind – and it weighs too much CHORUS: ======= The truth is a lie and a lie is worse yet So who can I trust when nobody is left The scars on my back remind me every day Every predator disguised as a friend leaves a price to pay [comments] => 1 [counter] => 181 [topic] => 34 [informant] => jaysoncarter [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 8 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SongLyrics )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
