The Revival

I think I just see the good in people before the bad

I always have seen the happy before the sad

But I like people too much

And it makes me mad

 

Hate seems to be the new love

And maybe if I hate more people

I'll be above

 

I think it's jealousy

Of the Transparents that soar

While they're frowning

I feel bad for smiling more and more

 

And I really only hate one person

But I feel I'm starting to pity

Because I know that his anger

Is just an excuse for insecurities

 

I'd like to say that I don't like The Boys That Dribble

The Transparents and their giggles

I say that I hate them

Just to hear their hearts sizzle

To crack and burn

As if they don't have a life

That has already been turned

 

Because I know

That I was once like them

But opening up your eyes and seeing

Has a price every now and then

 

Oh Miss World

How I shed tears for your death

I wish I could see

How you would be in the present

 

How foolish you were in the past

I know those kids destroyed you

But was it worth being gone in a flash?

 

I think you knew that the things you did were wrong

You only did it for them

I know that even in second grade

You knew more than him!

 

You saw through the eyes that were closed

Because you were the glow

That wasn't all bad

But Fuerte tumbled in

And made you mad

 

But I know that one day you'll see the good

And The Beauty Queen and you

Will know of can and not could
