Sweet Verity

When I woke up I was still in a dream

The rain was clear dividing what was true in the scene

And she walked out of a place in the shade

The rain was slightly beaded, on her hair as it receded, from a soul that clearly needed a place in my heart, at least that's what I thought at the start

Well I called her Sweet Ms. Verity Lou

She smiled just like a mystic land I'd never been too

And she was Beauty indeed

Her flaws beyond detection, oh she'd never faced rejection, oh I think she was perfection but I think too quickly and now I see

That she was

The one and only cause

Of misery

Sweet Verity

Well I courted her for all of my life

She shimmered from a distance when the lighting was right

But she must have planted a million seeds

Of wavering devotions, and of volatile emotions, oh she killed off Newton's motion, and I know she's a tease, I'm begging please, listen to me

That she is

The cause of all of this

Misery

Sweet Verity

So forget all of your philosophies

Forget about Plato and forget Socrates

Cause they died, and so will we

But instead of being haunted, by the things you always wanted, oh you could have just responded by closing your eyes and opening up wide

And she'll be

The plague of all humanity

Sweet Verity

And she's a dream

Sweet Verity

And she's a dream
