You don’t want to die
But the living gets you down
We want you to act like nothing’s wrong
Even though you heard a sound
And then you’re ripped right out of the ground
Like a fuckin’ root
No you simply cannot hide
From the ugly truth
You fell you must be wise
‘Cause you could find yourself
Among a sea of smiling faces
It’s a way I’ve never felt
Yeah, it kinda flies right into my face
And out the other side
Oh, the ugly truth leaves nothing to decide
The ugly truth makes every one of us a liar
Ugly
If you can dig a big enough hole
To bury all your youth
No you still won’t be prepared for the ugly truth
No you’ll never be prepared for the ugly truth
You simply cannot hide from the ugly truth
Ugly
Matthew Sweet – “In Too Deep”
I’m in too deep
Drowning in the fire
Burning in the lake
Dying from desire, dying for desire
I’m in too deep
Grasping like a liar
Yeah, and do you want me
‘Cause I’m gonna fly, yeah, I’m gonna fly
I’m in too deep
And even when you think you already know what to do, baby
There comes a hard road rushing at you
And honey ain’t life sweet
Mmm, too deep
I’m in too deep
I’ve opened up my eyes now
‘Cause now I understand how
It’s easy when the fear is real with the fear
I cannot sleep
Walking in a dreamland
Wishing I could feel shame
‘Cause there’s nobody else to blame nobody else
I’m in too deep
And even when you think you already know what to do, baby
There comes a hard road rushing at you
And honey ain’t life
And honey ain’t life sweet
Ah, it’s too deep
I’m in too deep
Drowning in the fire
Burning in the lake
Dying from desire, dying for desire
Dying from desire, dying for desire
Dying from desire, dying for desire

Matthew Sweet is amazing. I highly recommend listening to him.
Desire is dangerous. I work to be rid of it so that every moment is pleasure.
