Life - Don't talk to me about life - There ain't no philosophers here.
Spill Out - Peel Out.
By Stephen Abell.

"Everything you believed to be real is a lie."
These are the words tattooed on my heart,
Carved there by callous words in angry times.

A thought is buried deep in my mind;
A subconscious seed ready to sprout and bloom,
The only food it needs is doubt.

         Sometimes I want to slit my wrists and watch my life spill out

         Sometimes I want to light the fires, kick the tyres and peel out

Here I stay because this is truth.
The angry times are few, the good times are many,
But it's always the few we remember,

And the screams and the shouts
Along with the adrenalin pump that fuels our fight
But, most of all the doubt.

         Sometimes I want to slit my wrists and watch my life spill out

         Sometimes I want to light the fires, kick the tyres and peel out

But here I stay because this is LOVE.
