Smoke rings 'round your sons and daughters,
Visualise a promise,
They've stolen from us,
Sexuality lite bore from a cavern,
Sold to the public with reality television,
The most surreal vulgarity you'd ever see,
Cigarette stained black mass,
So good for publicity,

Born of ignorance,
Your sons and daughters,
Forget the promise,
Your one of us,
Your one of us,

Advertise fluoride dreams to the plastic majority,
They'll use their vote to screw a minority,
In a corner of the brothel you hold dear in your heart,
Love is failing third world lovers,
"Love" is abused on first world covers,
Of Intentikit magazine budget priced spreads,
The legs of society and sucks her 'til she bled,
She's still bleeding you know,
The blood runs thick throu' porous cloth,
Covering the humanity we've all but lost,

Born of ignorance,
Your sons and daughters,
Forget the promise,
Your one of us,
See their hearts bleed,
Hear my heart plead,
For justice in this world...........
 
Wish upon stillborn dreams,
Reality’s lost on celebrities,
Who march to the tune of their own demise?

Distance of the sadist son,
To the light your father birthed,
In tune with unjust justice,
We never could understand,

Holy war, a lovers tiff,
Cascading grains flow by the glass,
Into your heart, a desert apart,
From the sands of time,
 
Silent witness, look at you, your lips sewn with wire,
To a bedpost, mocking names, comfort your every hour,
Marching tunes, whistle blasts, is this freedom found?
Upon a flag that isn't mine, as the crippled trumpet sounds,

Silent witness,
Patriot,
Enemy of your own,
Patriotic machochist,
Tore the breath from my lungs,

I try to sing, I try to shout the names of my foes,
But I cannot scream as silence screams, that silent piercing sigh,
The silent witness need not speak, for the Judge has no ears to hear,
He lost his heart, as a rustic saw cut through his middle class fears,

Silent witness,
Patriot,
Enemy of your own,
Patriotic machochist,
Tore the breath from my lungs,

Rebellion,
Conformity
Cut from the same cloth,
Would you care if I would say,
We've all done enough..............
 
I've shot myself in the foot again,
I'm dancing but still in pain,
Cigarettes linger on, inside of my brain,
It's like a cancer but this cancer has a cure,
When dreams become reality,
Then I'm sure to be sure,

It's alot like love, ( suicide is)
It's alot like love, ( suicide is)
Well it's alot like love, so..........
Love me like a suicide............
Love me like a suicide............

Spinning tops on ferris wheels annoy but don't deter,
Me from living on in spite of her,
Now I'm wondering, was I washed up since the day,
I was born into the flames,

It's alot like love, ( suicide is)
It's alot like love, ( suicide is)
Well it's alot like love, so..........
Love me like a suicide............
Love me like a suicide............

Love me,
Love me,
Love me.............................


Love me like a suicide.

G C G D
I can't talk for my generation, for my generation's divided,
I can't sing a song of love, for love doesn't care for me,
I can't praise the lord with grace, for my faith has never been strong,

So tell me this, is this what it is, will my life forever be unlived,
So tell me please, as I fall upon my knees will my life be lived,

G D Am C G
So, this is life, this is love, this is freedom from my mind,
D
This is life.........
Am C
This is life...................................................

I won't pray for justice, for justice is unjust,
I won't say I'm sorry, for sorrow is my only friend,
I just can't believe in fate, for my destiny would only end,
In tears,

(Strum Break)

So, this is life, this is love, this is freedom from my mind,
This is life.........
This is life...................................................

So, this is life, this is love, this is freedom from my mind,
This is life.........
This is life...................................................
