PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I’ve seen the dark side
The true side of life
So let me shine some light on in
I’ll push it in your face
Breathe it deep let it take you in
Chloroformed by mortal sins
But sinners or saints
We’re still nothing but paint
On the canvas that’s burning
The artist is turning
Away from us now
He’s thrown in the towel
And I’m just the messenger
Don’t shoot the messenger
No.

One step forward
Equals two steps backward
In the world we’ve have created
A proactive outlook is overrated
The path we walk’s so complicated
And this fact is far too understated

But I’ve seen the dark side
The true side of life
So let me shine some light on in
I’ll push it in your face
Breathe it deep let it take you in
Chloroformed by mortal sins
But sinners or saints
We’re still nothing but paint
On the canvas that’s burning
The artist is turning
Away from us now
He’s thrown in the towel
And I’m just the messenger
Don’t shoot the messenger
No.

Lovers are liars
And winners are cheats
Couldn’t possibly get worse
Well hang on to your seats
It’s one hell of a ride
To the end of our days
The irony is blatant
We bitch but we’re complacent

And sinners or saints
We’re still nothing but paint
On the canvas that’s burning
The artist is turning
Away from us now
He’s thrown in the towel
And I’m just the messenger
Don’t shoot the messenger
No.
No don’t shoot the messenger.
No.
