| Now you read through the lives of the saints
And you said if I was a saint, I'd have a bigger beggar's bowl But now all you read is a list of complaints Bitterness poisons the soul You're a student of archeology And you take comfort in cities that fall When you smashes your place up, You thought you were making history Bitterness poisons the soul You took your name apart and then you put it back As someone you never wanted to know Now you're just as helpless as those you attack Bitterness poisons the soul I don't know if I will ever love again You like to wear expensive designer shades You're so cool you turn Spring into Fall But you find as the world darkens, it's you that fades Bitterness poisons the soul You dig through your closets for old truths you used to wear Like an actor who forgot his role Like a coward jonesing for the next big scare Bitterness poisons the sould I don't know if I will ever love again |
