Customs and Traditions, Filled with Contradictions Feeding only the Egoistic side Taking you for one hell of a ride Twisting and turning you upside down Until all you can do is sigh and frown Never revealing what’s deep within Concealing all the places one can begin To find the true meaning of life Above all the heartfelt strife Leaving you wanting, no, demanding more But the strife is so big you just hit the floor But when a door is closed a window opens Inside your heart, if you have so chosen To reveal the connections to the ones passed away The’re in your heart waiting to come out and play Needing only for you to remember When you love someone it is forever Forget these customs and traditions designed to make you cry And remember them in your heart, where likes eagles they fly Remember the love and hate you had to this day Lower your head and pray That through it all you can see within That there truly is none else beside him
