No Good Ever Came...
No good ever came
From staying up all night
Except when it took all night
To satisfy our thoughts
No good ever came
After the eight pint
Except when we drank too much
And finally said the words
No good ever came
From sleeping for hours all fine
Except in those morning hours
When we were safe from the whole world
No good ever came
From staying sober and bright
Except for the days we remember
When everything was sharp and whole
No good ever came
From standing completely still
Except when we stared at each other
And knew just who we were
No good ever came
From filling up on pills
Except when we hung from the ceiling
And clung to the clouds in mirth
No good ever came
From chasing childish thrills
Until we found that place inside
And laughed at how simple it was
No good ever came
From using power of will
Except when we clung together
Much longer than we should
No good ever came
From constantly pretending
Except when we said it would be fine
And sort of lived our lives
No good ever came
From the act of surrendering
Except when we surrendered
To the currents in our hearts
No good ever came
From being real and raw
Except when we absolved ourselves
By accepting all our scars
No good ever came
From fighting in a war
Except when we fought each other
Instead of face ourselves
Nothing ever good came
From shedding all those tears
Except when it let you know
That I was full of fear
Nothing ever came from me or you or us
Except for the briefest moments
When good came from both our lives.
