Sugar

Sweet like the rose, but hardened from life Out in the world, on the edge of the knife Sweet like the sun, and just as on fire Awakened by violence, which we never tire Sweet little girl, do you like what you see here? Do you see life and love, or constant fear?     Blackened feelings always growing faster     You're never freed from the chain of greed     A man is dead and there is only laughter     But who will save us from our planted seed? Sweet like the rose, but hating the thought Never understanding just what you've sought Sweet like the sun, burning for so many years But what can make us realize our own fears? Sweet little girl, do you like what we're doing? Blow up the world and see who now's suing     Blackened feelings always growing faster     You're never freed from the chain of greed     A man is dead and there is only laughter     But who will save us from our planted seed? Sweet like the rose which brings us hope But what is hope in the noose of rope? Sweet like the sun which lets us live Live?...Ha! You may be the next to give My sweet little girl, will you ever be happy Now that everybody wants to come and stab me?     Blackened feelings always growing faster     You're never freed from the chain of greed     A man is dead and there is only laughter     But who will save us from our planted seed?           Sweet like the rose           Strike that deathly pose           Sweet like the sun           Now you'd better run           Sweet little girl           Killed for her pearlsway back in the day (2000 or so), Written March 28th, 2002 © on Mar 28 2002 02:09 AM PST   20 • 0 • 9
