Title: Pretty Misery
Post by: Tia on August 06, 2004, 09:17:26 am
pick up a pretty rock
you don't see the dirt on the other side
put it in your pocket
you should have left it there to hide

pull a pretty girl
on a saturday night
take her home
see her in the light

uproot a pretty flower
see the mud on the bottom
pull off the petals
whatch it go rotten

try to trap all the beauty that you see
without realizing what lies underneath
the misery
cast it aside when it hits the light
and the fairytale is broken
when the truth is in full sight

try to paint a pretty picture
with greens and blues and reds
but you make the colors swirl around
til the picture is brown and dead

watch the fluffy clouds
and the gold and silver linings
til the sun comes out from behind
too bright, it is shining

try to trap all the beauty that you see
without realizing what lies underneath
the misery
cast it aside when it hits the light
and the fairytale is broken
when the truth is in full sight

there is another side to everything
in this multi faceted world
behind every innocent glowing child's face
there lies a devious little boy or girl

and beauty fades like the sun in fall
and slips away to reveal the hole
where joy should be
there lies only misery

coz beauty melts like the snow in winter
til there's only a sludgy mud
and beauty fades
like all that is good

the uglyness underneath
is covered by beauty's hood

That's incredible! There are so many parts in that where I'm like "Okay, this is my favorite part!... No, this!..." And so on and so forth. :D
