The Offspring "Half-Truism" lyrics

Half-Truism

One is for envyAnd one just for spiteThe cuts in my heartThey show in your eyesDon’t make it betterThe twisting knifeTurns all by itselfOn to someone else

Your self-liberationWill leave this behindBeyond slings and arrowsThat rain on our mindsYou’ll make it betterShake it offIt never mattered anyway

If we don’t make it aliveWell it’s a hell of a good day to dieAll our light that shines strongOnly lasts for so long

And it’s ashes to ashes againShould we even try to pretend?All our light that shines strongOnly lasts for so long

The banner you’re wavingIs burning and redIt’s blocking the sunlightThat shines overheadYou against the worldDiamonds and pearlsVoices inside you churnWatch the city burn

Your own liberationWill leave them behindAll the slings and arrowsThat rain on your mindDon’t make it betterBreak it causeIt never mattered anyway

If we don’t make it aliveWell it’s a hell of a good day to dieAll our light that shines strongOnly lasts for so long

And it’s ashes to ashes againShould we even try to pretend?All our light that shines strongOnly lasts for so long

IWon'tCalmDown

The banner you're wavingIs burning and redYou against the worldDiamonds and pearlsIt never matteredMatteredMattered anyway

If we don’t make it aliveWell it’s a hell of a good day to dieAll our light that shines strongOnly lasts for so long

And it’s ashes to ashes againShould we even try to pretend?All our light that shines strongOnly lasts for so long

All our light that shines strongOnly lasts for so long
