I don't understand it.
I try and I try, but it makes no sense.

All that I've heard
About love is the pain.
Nobody ever seems
To speak about the gain.

The only ones who care
To tell me the happy parts
Are the ones who have not
Yet experienced broken hearts.

So while others wait
For that one perfect mate.
I think I'd rather read
Than go on a date.

I wish people would listen.
Wish they'd pay attention to my words.
But people are so selfish sometimes.
I know all they see is their woe.

It's annoying, at least.
I wish they would hear.
I'm shouting as loud as I can,
But nobody's there.

I feel like a child
Having a tantrum at the mall.
Except this time,
Nobody seems to care at all.

So I resort to watching as they walk to and fro.
And I wish they would notice,
For even a mo.

A tangle of lies.
An unknown secret.
Once you find out,
Can you keep it?

The secrets I keep,
The things I've done.
To hide them all,
I've told no one.

I'm telling you
To let it go.
I know what will happen
If I don't do so.

It'll eat me up,
It'll make me cry.
I'll feel almost like
I want to die.

So save me now,
With your words and smiles.
I hope you sit down,
This might take a while.

The secrets I keep.
The reasons I weep.
The worries and fears that drive an anchor so deep.

I release them to you,
My friend so dear.
I hope that afterwards,
My life will become more clear.

People tell us that
People are good, that
People are strong, that
People do wrong, but
People will right it.

I say that
People are good, but only if they try.
I say that
People are strong, but their strength isn't always a good thing.
I say that
People are wrong, and sometimes they don't accept it.
I say that
People don't always right their wrongs.
I say that
**People aren't perfect.

The screams of the ******.
The laughter of the saved.
All of the people
Laid down in their graves.

But now, in this world
Where morals have shifted,
The consequences of evil
Have somehow been lifted.

Those who have done wrong
Aren't always caught.
Those who have done good
Are sometimes fought.

Because good and evil are truly just sides.
*Only now, those are the sides people are trying to hide.

They called me a liar.
They called me a joke.
They threw me into the river.
They allowed me to choke.

They watched as I struggled.
They laughed as I fell.
They acted unknowing.
As they made my life hell.

So now, I am back.
To reap what they sowed.
They'll regret it.
Regret the hate that overflowed.

I'll watch as they struggle.
I'll laugh as they fall.
I'll throw them to their knees.
I'll make them all crawl.

And then they will see.
They will finally see.
That the hatred they held.
*Is now all in me.
