Side Effect

Side Effect

Fairy tales say magic always comes at a price

When I think of our love I know they are right

Finding true love is only half the struggle

The real fight is keeping it from ending in rubble

Such a divine fantasy is happily ever after

Nature demands balance, tears for your laughter

Love can feel like a side effect of humanity

When it collides with hate we are left with insanity

The love is real and deep, as loud as we yell

It's like heaven picked up and moved in with hell

Although we know we could never walk away

Constantly we wonder how we can stay

The nature of love includes destruction

Glory entwined with volcanic eruption

Still it calls to us and we hunt it down

If nothing was lost, nothing can be found.
