True Sadness |
| You were a friend to me when my wheels were off the tracks |
| And though you say there is no need |
| I intend to pay you back |
| When my mind was turning loose and all my thoughts were turning black |
| You shined a light on me |
| And I intend to pay you back |
| But I still wake up, shaken by dreams |
| And I hate to say it, but the way it seems |
| Is that no one is fine |
| Take the time, to peel a few layers |
| And you will find |
| True sadness |
| When I was a child I depended on a bottle |
| Full grown I’ve been known to lean on a bottle |
| But you’re the real deal in a world of imposters |
| And I’ve seen the program make men out of monsters |
| Cause I still wake up, shaken by dreams |
| And I hate to say it, but the way it seems |
| Is that no one is fine |
| Take the time, to peel a few layers |
| And you will find |
| True sadness |
| Angela become a target |
| As soon as her beauty was seen |
| By young men who tried to reduce her down |
| To a scene on a x-rated screen |
| Is she not more than the curve of her hips? |
| Is she not more than the shine on her lips? |
| Does she not dream to sing and to live and to dance down her own path |
| Without being torn apart? |
| Does she not have a heart? |
| I cannot go on with this evil inside me |
| I step out my front door and I feel it surround me |
| Just know the kingdom of God is within you |
| Even though the battle is bound to continue |
| Cause I still wake up, shaken by dreams |
| And I hate to say it, but the way it seems |
| Is that no one is fine |
| Take the time, to peel a few layers |
| And you will find |
| True sadness |
| True sadness |
| True, true sadness |
