1000 Suns

I came home to
The sound of laughter
Somehow they knew
About you and me
Was it fun to
Spread our business
To everyone and
Into the street
Did it make you
Feel much bigger
Was it funny
How you treated me
I could have shrugged off
The betrayal
But it was there for
Everyone to see
Don’t you know that
I lived on anger
I had to
To survive
I know I can’t
Live on hatred
But Lord knows how
Hard I tried
And I know that
You had your Ogres
Once again through
Word of mouth
They were saying
That you were spreading
More than lies
Way down South
And I know that
You asked about me
Trying to bait me
Bringing up the past
I wanted peace and
I wanted distance
I should have known that
It wouldn’t last
Don’t you know that
I lived on anger
I had to
To survive
I know I can’t
Live on hatred
But Lord knows how
Hard I tried
And I hate that
I have this anger
I’m ashamed that
You’re the one
Bringing back
All this hatred
Brighter than a thousand suns
Don’t you know that
I lived on anger
I had to
To survive
I know I can’t
Live on hatred
But Lord knows how
Hard I tried
And I hate that
I have this anger
I’m ashamed that
You’re the one
Bringing back
All this hatred
Brighter than a thousand suns
