Play the part

[YDK]

We watch love on TV, visionaries; they're just showing us puppets,
Fuck it, you know it better as poetic justice.
The price of a heart defined for recognition and fame
Prison and chains when you love someone who doesnt listen to pain.
It's a shot in the dark and I'm missing the vein,
The death of Romeo replayed, now I'm wishing the same!
Lick the chalice Juliet took her last sip from
No effect, kiss her lips locked eternally with a plastic toungue.
The past is done, theoretical landscapes of the times ahead
I'm blind instead, reaching frantically to catch the sun.
Who am I to judge? Conscious thoughts plague me with romanticism,
Picture perfect portraits and slow dancing visions
Washed away with a bottle of chardonnay and regret,
Because nothing will be the same as the day that we met.
Now we hate to forget that we were happy for a moment in time,
But father wouldn't accept us till we were sober and primed.
The fall into love is devastating and climbing out of it kills,
And if you don't understand it I'll bet John Malkovich will.
