Sister III

Be careful where you plant your feet
Be tasteful when you choose to weep
Be grateful if you fall asleep
Live like you believe in something, in anything

Keep quiet when you want to speak
Keep trying though you're drawn to leave
Keep crying if it brings relief
Oh, try to find some peace in nothing, nothing at all

Are you frightened by the way people tire of the world?
There's no beauty in the pain, no pity when it hurts
I remember better days, don't you?
I remember better days, when we knew
Only what we needed to know

Be honest when you want to lie
Be modest if you go outside
Be flawless when it's time to die
Close your hopeful eyes, and sleep
