American Beauty
A paper bag blows in the wind
Never happy. Won't be again.
Just a piece of worthless detriment
A useless piece of useless judgement.
Bullet to the back of the head
It will put this truth to rest
Only too late when the question's dead
When the hero dies on his personal quest.
Betrayal, lust, and sinful things
Helped climb the peak but it was too soon
When he jumped he had his wings
Thought he could reach the far off moon
But in a spiral, a downward fall
Dommed by the lies of his whole life
Accelerated until the most hurtful stall
In those wings he stuck his own knife
And in those last moments
He learned his greatest lesson:
Live for yourself, dig your own grave
One that you will forever rest in.
