Hugo's Song
Attention – She craves it Money – She caresses it Love – is non-existent
She has no ears just lips to suck the good out of you She has no tears just hands to take it all from you Daddy is a starving influential maestro Hugo Read This!
Values – They rape them Manipulation – At its peak Scheming – New ways to poison
If you would only just absorb Society desensitized but every bit as lethal Hugo Read This!
Arrogance is tolerance - delusional worship Paparazzi heads hang like tiny pears Hallucinations, infatuations are just two omens Ignorant rivers of our evolution
What’s that dripping from your sixth finger? It is the consequence – the most obsessed of fans
Ring on the Second Hand
Time flies by is cliché you know, Hey, where did that last minute go? Are you better, are you wiser? Make an effort to surprise her?
Twas’ precious then, forgotten now As good a time to make a vow A minute longer waste no more Aging, saying you’re “just plain bored”
“Forever’s” new profound lush tone Marks each moment a new milestone Idleness stops eyes open wide Revealing bright and polished diamonds
It’s beautiful to laugh and smile Take a forbidden chance right now Life ticks and talks and waves goodbye Achieve love most before you die
