Deadly Rhymes and Laughing Times VOL I

Nothing Like Them

Here comes the storm and here comes the rain
Here comes the memories along With all the pain
All the tears i cried were all in vain
All the effort i put went down the drain

If I'm wrong then would you tell me why?
You turned your back when you heard me cry
You cut my wings when i started to fly
You buried my grave and wished I'd die

You came into my life and you lived a lie
You lived behind a mask of sarcasm and wry
You turned my life from beauty to dry
And my insecurities from low to high

One question though; why?

All i did was be thoughtful and kind
But i guess instead i was blind
I should've looked to the front instead of behind
Because the answer all along wasn't hard to find

What would you call someone you thought you knew
Who turned out to be like one of those few
The hypocritical and sociopathic crew
One you thought you knew through and through

Well let me tell you all that I know
Because these things are hard to overgrow
You just kick, scream and throw
And cry and cry like there's no tomorrow

Then move ahead and never look back
Take your tears and scars and bury them in a sack
Take your hope and dreams and your heart that's black
You take them far and never look back

You deserve more than he can ever try
You deserve happiness; hell the whole sky
You deserve to smile and never cry
You deserve the world and never doubt why

You are a true unique gem
You are nothing like them
You are a flower with a silver stem
No you are nothing like them
