This is a tale of the lives
of fools who are wise
a balancing act of love
hate truth and lies.
A carnival-style society
pull up stakes no time
to commit and contracts
full of loopholes so
there's always a way
out of it.
Nothing's for certain
too many choices keep
our heads raised high
to see in a consumer's
world that the grass is
greener on every side.
A lifelong love doesn't
seem to be a part of
this game of quantity
not quality but in spite
of it all I still hear love
calling out my name.
First I hear you laughing
then I hear you cry
the promise of forever
then the promise of
goodbye.
