Nothing Beautiful von Aventura

First I drank insecticide

a little more each day

followed by dirty and sugary foods

grown where the light was grey

later my thoughts were small and sharp

adapted to their purpose

to extract the fuel from fat

under the lovely surface


Cause nothing beautiful

nothing beautiful lasts


Moved to a ghost town for inspiration

I could start where they'd given up

feed on the seed of the dreams people left

out to rot when the going got tough

cockroaches turn adversity to immunity

there ain't a niche lower in the animal kingdom

or one with more longevity


Cause nothing beautiful

nothing beautiful lasts


Easier to deny what is real

and what's solid and what you can see

if you bulldoze the bankrupted buildings

failure's the dust that settles on the trees


Cause nothing beautiful

nothing beautiful lasts...
