As September is ending,
Many memories march,
For it was a September,
The one two years ago,
I only felt so complete,
Such love I felt wanted,
Now it's such a contrast.

I've been deceived by many,
Devastated and aggravated to epitome,
But I have not once avenged any,
I silently suffered and embraced the pain,

It killed me a millionth time,
That I wanted to make them pay,
But I dissolved the abhor,
For hate can strengthen and my virtue might decay,

I could have played along,
Maybe adopt evil and hurt people,
But what was the worth,
Because I know I learned that revenge cannot do any good.

Now I can understand why
They self medicate

Now the weight of the world
Fallen on me

The heaviness of mid-life
Not yet having lived one

Here,
Where it is hot all the time

And hurriedly we go
Like on hot coals

Like in a hell made
Of us consuming ourselves
Sin city
Fake
           A life I cannot take...

When will I wake up
And this world will be over
The systems are broken
And people don't care
Fashion before caring
No love in the air
Money's your God now
And Greed so unfair
Bankers control us
War in the air

I want to wake up now
And see that people care

The world is wrong
And we live as if it's right...

It's crazy to be this close to you
And still be angry at the space in between.
Maybe this is why people marry--
To be so close, there's only one of the two of us.

We are the voiceless
Puppets whose audience gains
in our misfortune

It's not love unless someone is broken
It's not love unless they're able to break your heart
It's not innocence unless it's something that can be taken
And it's not trust if you can't trust them not to take it

It can't be passion if it's not underlying with hurt
And it's not value until you come to face with what you aren't worth
I't's not true unless it's threatened with a lie
And it can't be forever as long as something has the ability to die

It's not happiness without the faded photograph of misery
You only know what it can, when your certain of what it can't be
Knowing when to stop only because you know when to go

And knowing when it's over is the last thing that comes
And the first of the last things you will remember about her
