The Offspring - Half Truism
One is for envy and one just for spite
The cuts in my heart, they show in your eyes
It don′t make it better
Twisting knife turns the blades off onto someone else
Stop the operation, we'll leave this behind
Beyond slings and arrows bearing on your mind
It don't make it better
Shake it off, it never mattered anyway
If we don't make it alive
If we don't make it alive
It's a hell of a good day to die.
Our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long.
And it's ashes to ashes again
Should we even try to pretend?
Our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long.
The banner you're waving is burning red
The banner you're waving is burning red
It's blocking sunlight that shines overhead
You against the world
Diamonds and pearls will see society turn
Watch the city burn
Your own admiration will leave them behind
Your own admiration will leave them behind
On the slings and arrows bearing on your mind
It don't make it better
Break it cause it never mattered anyway
If we don't make it alive
If we don't make it alive
It's a hell of a good day to die.
Our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long.
And it's ashes to ashes again
Should we even try to pretend?
Our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long.
I won't come down
The banner you're waving is burning red
You against the world
Diamonds and pearls
It never mattered anyway
If we don't make it alive
If we don't make it alive
It's a hell of a good day to die.
Our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long.
And it's ashes to ashes again
Should we even try to pretend?
Our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long.
Our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long
