Mama

Mama, I've found the truth
She's beautiful.
I've grown up
And grown strong
I've been hurt
And I'm in pieces
Mama, the world lied
But she doesn't
She wouldn't
And she's beautiful.
Mama, I'm patient
And the truth needs it
And I'm alright
I'm hungry
And I feed on myself
I can't feed on no one else
You didn't raise me that way
And you're beautiful.
Mama, I'm fine
Send Father a hug
Tell him I'm a man
I hug the child inside me
Each night and sleep
He's restless
He'll be that way.
Mama, I’ll be home soon
I won't come empty handed
I'll have her memories
I'll tell you how beautiful she is
And I won't be the same
But I'll be the same for you.
Mama, I've found the truth.
She's beautiful
She still is
And she will be.

Beautiful Lie

Beautiful things are not always beautiful. Something you can't say about ideas, I guess.
____________________________

You're a beautiful lie that I tell myself
Few times as the day goes by
And I try that you don't bring me down
At least I can say I try.
"Please don't"
And you still come back
And I can't think no more
And lost, I lose my track.

You're a beautiful lie that I tell myself
And I try burying the truth
It's stench lies at the back of my head
And reality digs it's tooth
Deep, but I'm numb
And the you're the one that stings
And the heart that bears you
Will sit here jolly, and sing

You're a beautiful lie that I tell myself
And beautiful things cut
Lies may heal for a while
Things pretty and bright are but
Ugly on the inside it seems
And for a moment you make me believe
That these thing might be true
But I guess I don't care, I'll smile
Cause you make me happy out of the blue
Don't you?
