Still obsessed with this song...

"A prince in practice moans for the attention that he wants,
but most of this town won't even dignify his ignorance with a response.
Left to a crowded foster home by a 15 year old mom,
never been held in anyone's arms,
when you've never been moved its really hard to move on.
A young saleswoman sets up shop when the sun sets,
she'll make your wildest dreams come true at a price you wont forget.
The sadly married set up alibis no harm no regret,
hoping they meet an angel in bed that can wrestle the devil right out of their heads.
This city runs fast, no one has time to sit with themselves, no time to look into our pain,
or see the same despair in everyone else; 
it's here, it's there, it's everywhere, tears soak each card the dealers dealt.
But time taught me how to see every second as heaven even though they're perfectly disguised as hell...

And I refuse to let past bruises cover the light,
it ain't all good, but its all good enough, so I know I'm alright.
Agony is truth it's our connection to the living, I accept it as perfection and keep on existing in the now...

I can only build if I tear the walls down,
even if it breaks me I wont let it make me frown.
I'm falling but no matter how hard I hit the ground...

I'll still smile.

I can only build if I tear the walls down,
even if it breaks me I wont let it make me frown.
I'm falling but no matter how hard I hit the ground...

I'll still smile.

Ear to ear as if that's all I'm here for,
despite the wars founded by the rich, funded by the poor.
Kids barely 18 are dying so billionaires can make more,
elsewhere hungry mothers watch their babies starve to death,
 in a beat up shack on a dirt floor.

The aged professor quotes "Freedom's without a path,"
now he dresses like a widow and preaches "love is dead" in every class.
But curiosity killed the cat and taught the dog in him how to act,
and it burned his bridge to Jill so he tries to drown the guilt with a bottle of Jack.

Self proclaimed rebels say "We must oppose the system!"
"You gotta take a stand!" "If your not against them, your with them!"
Signs read "Support the troops bring em' home!" "No more innocent victims!"
But when a homeless veteran asks for spare change your to busy protesting to even listen...

And I'm no different I live in conflict and contradiction, 
but it can be so beautiful when I don't reject what lies within.
It's beautiful the way agony connects us to the living,
I think of the world when I hurt, and keep on existing in the now.

I can only build if I tear the walls down,
even if it breaks me I wont let it make me frown.
I'm falling but no matter how hard I hit the ground...

I'll still smile.

I can only build if I tear the walls down,
even if it breaks me I wont let it make me frown.
I'm falling but no matter how hard I hit the ground...

I'll still smile."

love you mean it.
