BITTERNESS

On this side of the hill child sit up and cry
Touches his window and paints two other eyes
On the other side child asks his mother why
Hatreds a virtue and dreams turn into lies
Hatreds a virtue and dreams turn into lies

On this side of the hill child sit up and cry
Touches his window and paints two other eyes
Got a wall full of scratches and a closet full of questions
Rug burns on his knee caps and learned some bitter lessons

ch. So sew a heart on the side of your sleeve
Don’t accept the lie you’re better off
Living on your knees
If they say they love you, well they’ve torn you apart
That ain’t love it’s bitterness planted in your heart

You’ve got two hands and a heart and a soul, my friend
And it’s got no right being poisoned

ch.

One day you’ll rise above because you’re a glorious fool
You wipe the brow and kiss the man who’s wicked and cruel
And so to rejoice the new world you’ve suddenly found
You'll leave behind the lies of this ignorant town

ch. If they say they love you, well they’ve torn you apart
That ain’t love it’s bitterness planted in your heart
You lived a life in closets now you turn from the scorn
You’ll find a place together where the truth is inborn

Well, you’ve found a place where the truth is inborn
Well, you’ve found a place where the truth is inborn
