The Concrete Flower - No Bragging Rights

Why fight

(In a wold that’s given up, if hope is really lost, why show the love I was

denied?)

Why fight

(If hate rules everything, if nothing is worth save, then what’s the point?)

Why fight the way I feel inside?

Please don’t make me a liar

Why should it even matter?

I’m so bitter and so tired

So tired of smiling through this pain, with no end in sight

Who knew having a heart could be a curse?

And that trying to help only makes things worse?

I try to smile but my eyes scream hate

And loving anything will only end in pain

How can I love when I never let anyone inside

Burned one too many times

I’m no defeatist but lets call it what it is

A world damned, a world that’s given up

No signs of hope and no signs of love

In a world so full of hate, how could anyone rise above

Why fight the way I feel inside

Please don’t make me a liar

Why should it even matter

I’m so bitter and so tired

So tired of smiling through this pain, with no end in sight

Tonight could change my life

In a world so full of hate how can anyone rise above

In a world so full of hate how can I feel anything but lost

In the land of the lost

In the land of broken promises

The land of lies and lust

I found a truth in my pain

And the strength to start again

Tonight should change my life

Why fight the way I feel inside

Please don’t make me a liar

Why should it even matter

I’m so bitter and so tired

So tired of smiling through this pain, with no end in sight

In a world so full of hate how can anyone rise above

In a world so full of hate how can anyone rise above

In a world that chooses hate, I choose love

I CHOOSE LOVE
