Life Is Temporary
Touch me
I get hurt
I get hurt so easily
I get hurt
I hurt me
I hurt me so easily
I've got a system, you see
Touch me, hurt me, I hurt me, you get off scot free
I bleed
Touch and feel and see and beat
Subtract one, it equals defeat
Vulnerability plus creativity equals
Scars designed on arms, broken cars
Susceptibility screams me
Hurt me once
I am nice
Hurt me twice
Throw the dice
Two, four, six, eight
Who do we incarcerate?
Fathers lying
Children crying
Children dying
Mothers sighing
Utopian worlds are mythology, mythology is fantasy
Fantasy is fiction
Fiction is not real
So touch me, beat me
If you want to, eat me
Life does not end sweetly
Life is temporary
