FAMILY VALUES

Long gone are those years
When I thought they were wrong
When I thought I was right
Long gone the answers back
The fights and tantrums
And that teenager who was always pissed off
‘Cause nobody could understand
What he was trying to say
What he was trying to be
That same teenager now smiles back at me, sadly
How late I’ve learned what mother said was right
And father said ‘cause do what I always said
Never ever repeat what I do or have done
When was it that I got those values
Why do I cherish what I always denied
Why is it so much harder to me
That back then it was for my parents
To understand the youth of these new years
To believe that it is real when they don’t care
To see them destroy what it took me so long to build
To start over wrong into a dark future
To think they know without haven’t lived the life
To stamp a bad word without hesitation
When they refuse to even hear what I have to say
Why can’t they see they will feel like me in a near future
Opening their minds to what’s really important
Family values and family itself
When they are gone and it’s too late
It could have happened and happened earlier
Those values that we think we create
Those values older than mother Earth
Those same values that were there from the beginning
Those same values that should stay with us forever
Before its too late
Before they go away.

LIES

It doesn’t matter when
It doesn’t matter where
It doesn’t matter how
If you lie to me I will notice
If you lie to me I will remember
Getting hurt I will close my eyes and feel the pain
And I will ask a question I could never answer
Why and what was the need for it
And at the end of the road you will find out
Why lies are more hurtful than hurtful truth itself
When there’s awkward silence to avoid the fight
Let pass lie after lie and it becomes a habit
A vicious cycle impossible then to break
When you do it once you will do it again
And then without you even noticing
That will become your way of life
And then without you even noticing
Your life will only be
That little lie you thought didn’t matter
A big lie that just started a long time ago
Now it doesn’t matter when
Now it doesn’t matter where
Now it doesn’t matter how
What really matters is that I still remember
Because today it still hurts the same
Because today I still can’t answer why
Or even what was the need for it.
