haha, wow i'd forgotten i'd posted this. it's still a work in progress, and i've been playing around with it to divide it into seperate verses and adding a chorus. i'll post the updated verision when i've got something more concrete. that said, anyone else have any critiques or thoughts on it?

anyways, here's the newest version, any comments?

We beat around the bush,
But haven’t landed on any one
Definitive definition for
What it is we’re doing.
But the truth is blinding and
There’s no use in labeling
This tantalizing mirage as reality.

Don’t look at this the wrong way,
Cynicism breeds a sweet molestation,
Such an indulgent taste of bitter honesty.
A welcome break from exhausting
Elation and picture-perfect hallucinations.

We’re both adults we can handle
The plastic truth we’re living.
The time for unrealistic fantasies
Has long since left the ground.
So don’t lift up your feet,
Neither one of us is looking for,
A saccharine flight of fancy.

Don’t look at this the wrong way,
Cynicism breeds a sweet molestation,
Such an indulgent taste of bitter honesty.
A welcome break from exhausting
Elation and picture-perfect hallucinations.

So let’s keep on track with,
This impetuous stimulant since
Good things must end, and
We’re on a shrewd incline.
Walls will fall and the remains will be
Too menacingly tangible to maintain.
