What Honesty Sounds Like

Lacking a Little Warmth

What Honesty Sounds Like

In the end, we're all sad stories

with social security numbers

Collecting fake smiles and sympathy

that eventually, nobody remembers

Gathering what's left behind

lost rewards and little treasures

Grabbing what happiness we find

one day claimed by our successors

I know this sounds a little dark

a taste of what honesty might sound like

Lacking in a little warmth

void of love we'd hoped to find

But sometimes life can take its toll

leaving you empty and alone

Trying to heal up our souls

with well wishes made of stone
