Life when it ends can be summed up in a ledger
How much you gave does not even figure in the equation
The question now is how much would you gain
And when there is no will, there is no way
But to settle everything by divide and conquer

It's a sad world we live in...

No matter how good the roots might have been
There is always a chance for the tree to bear bad fruit
But you reap what you sow
Be preaped to harvet what you have planted
Be ready to face the cut of your own scythe

Trust can be forfeited and lies can be foretold...

The truth can be a big slap on the face
In the end, love can be overshadowed by pride
Familiarity can breed contempt
But I never imagined it to breed so much hate
Being just a witness, I can only watch and wait

You wanted everything, you shall have nothing...

Because you got too greedy, because you wanted it all
Because all you had to do was say something and watch as others fall
You could've saved a life, you could've made a difference
Now that the tables have turned and you lost all your aces
You cheated, you lied and now couldn't even look me in the eye
Cheesy, I know. But it was something I heard today and it stuck to my mind. I thought it would pass for a title on this one... It's been a funky day...
