Comforting Lies and Designated Mines

It is not to my surprise That people find comfort in lies When a soldier steps on a mine Bang His brother comforts, you'll be just fine We all take part in some deception Another perfect picture for my public collection Do not worry about the lies you tell someone else You better be careful with the lies you tell yourself Covering your eyes does not inspire change Pushing away your problems insures you stay the same In truth, we are all walking on designated land mines Waiting.... for the right person at the wrong time I'll start my diet tomorrow! Bang Heart attack, a wife gripped by sorrow I'm as happy as can be! Bang A life lived in comfortable misery I'll tell her I love her later! On his final bed, knows of no regret greater You fool, you should have known better! Did you really think moments last forever? Here you lay, wishing you could have those moments back Struggling and fighting against the suffocating bl- Bang It is to my surprise That people find comfort in lies We all become the right person at the wrong time What am I saying? Never mind, You'll be just fine Bang
