A Friend Lost

Life's not about the happy times
LIfe's about when it's all dark
And you think "If this doesn't get better I will die"
About the first time you realised
That you're living in suburbia
That you've realised the American Dream
The first time you realise you've let yourself down
And become everything you hate
Everything you swore you'd never stand for
You want to turn back, but it's too late

You're so desperate for acceptance
You somehow lost yourself along the way
And you're telling everyone that you're okay
And they all smile and look relieved
But inside, they'll grieve (for a friend lost)

But so what? We all get what we deserve
There is no fear in your heart
There's no looking to tomorrow for answers
There's no looking to yesterday for mistakes made
There's only today
Another day in the hell you've made for yourself

We're walking straight into the open arms of sin.
