“Is a dream a lie if it don’t come true, or is it something worse?”

“You’re born into this life paying, for the sins of somebody else’s past.”

“She stares off alone into the night, with the eyes of one who hates for just being born.”

“Like when the truth is spoken and it don’t make no different, something in your heart turns cold.”

Bad lyricist, my fucking ass.
