Lyrics The Offspring

The Offspring

Half-Truism

One is for envy and one just for spite

The cuts in my heart, they show me your eyes

Don't make it better by twisting knife,

Turns all by itself, on to someone else

Your self-liberation, we'll leave this behind,

Beyond slings and arrows that rain on our minds

You'll make it better shaking it off

It never mattered anyway...

If we don't make it alive, it's a hell of a good day to die

All our light that shines strong only lasts for so long

And it's ashes to ashes again, should we even try to pretend?

All our light that shines strong only lasts for so long

The banner you're waving is burning and red

It's blocking the sun light that shines overhead

You against the world, diamonds and pearls,

Voices inside you churn, watch the city burn

Your own liberation will leave them behind

All the slings and arrows that rain on your mind,

Don't make it better, break it 'cause

It never mattered anyway...

If we don't make it alive, it's a hell of a good day to die

All our light that shines strong only lasts for so long

And it's ashes to ashes again, should we even try to pretend?

All our light that shines strong only lasts for so long

I won't calm down...

The banner you're waving is burning and red,

You against the world, diamonds and pearls...

It never mattered, mattered,

Mattered anyway!

If we don't make it alive, well it's a hell of a good day to die

All our light that shines strong only lasts for so long

And it's ashes to ashes again, should we even try to pretend?

All our light that shines strong only lasts for so long,

All our light that shines strong only lasts for so long!
