~

the way that people smile,
the way that people laugh.
doesn't it give you this flavour full of joy?
it makes you feel amazing and full,
it makes you feel happy and alive.

The happiness it brought was a bit too much,
the real world when it's delightful essence
touched your lips, your toungue, it brought
you down to the earth, to the real world we
live in, reside in, exist in.

Do you even know what it is to be alive?
We say we know it all, we say we've seen it all.
We're dead in the world of the truth and fakes.
We're stuck in the essence of hope and reality.
I remeber when you said you were happy,
you said you were truly happy.
You seemed so real and so loyal to your word.
You seemed so touched and agravated when
it went away.

Don't give hope away,
keep it close to you, where you can take it again.
We say we know it all, but we haven't even
tried to think,
we haven't brought that cup to out lips,
slipped the red wine, down to out throats.
We don't even know what life is about yet,
it can't just be about life and death.
We don't even know the flavour being alive,
trying to survive, and succeeding until the very last.
