Lyrical Lies

By Berry Fantastic

Words have no meaning
They're lyrical lies
The emotion behind them
Makes them bleed in our eyes

The emotion behind them
Makes them burn on our tongue
Though you won't feel it now
You'll remember it stung

The emotion behind them
You'll feel in your heart
Like a bittersweet song
Like a saccharine tart

The words you'll forget
But you'll know that they're there
The emotion behind them
Makes anyone care

We are born and we die
One big lyrical lie
The emotions within us
Return to the sky
