Denial isn't just some river in Egypt;
its an ocean as big as the world.

How do you keep yourself from drowning?
Just hold your head up and don't loose sight of your hopes,
your dreams,
your love.

When the dam breaks, all you can do is swim.

You can only lie to yourself for so long,
denying it doesn't change the truth.
Sooner or later
we have to put it aside,
and face the world head on,
guns blazing.
