Agony in irony, flick a Bic ignite the fire in me
Hearts apart, yet you still call me, try to involve me
We both know things will never change, where ever we go
You began to let me go, pull me back to censor me,
Took away my will to give, gave away my will to live
Broke my heart, burning agony on which I thrive, I smile to heal and to survive.
Agony in irony, extinguish the fire in me
Hearts apart, yet you still call me, try to involve me
Agony, irony burning inside me
Agony, irony, oh
We both know things will never change, where ever we go
You began to let me go, pull me back to censor me,
Took away my will to give, Crumpled up my will to live
Broke my heart, burning agony on which I thrive, I smile to heal and to survive.
Agony in irony, extinguished the fire in me
Broken heart, but you've stopped your calls to me, Alone I sleep, finally my world is all to me.
Agony, Irony, now fueling the smile inside me

This is nothing more than a simple rewrite of Paul McCartney's "Ebony and Ivory". Just something new I figured I'd try, a change of pace to battle boredom. It's a phrase I'd always been partial too. Somewhat like cruel situations that were ironic to the point you just have to laugh 'cuz it's that unbelievable.
It stems from a past incident where I decided to help a female friend and make sure that she wasn't alone for the night. I blew off sure plans to go out for the night and just have fun with the guys to make sure she was OK...only to have her seek solace in the arms of a guy who would in time break her heart. After all that I went through to help her, I was the one who spent the night alone and "not OK"...I sat there thinking of the confusion I was feeling because of the sheer irony of the nights events...but that's in the past now.
I'm not sure if I've finally gone insane or if my heart is healed, but either way, I can smile again and without the aid of "love" or having to fake it. Genuine smiling is something I missed, and it's finally returned.
Am I happy? I wouldn't quite say that, Content is more fitting. But either way, my smile is back.

“I'm not sure if I've finally gone insane or if my heart is healed”…
I think I know what you mean…
I sometimes think I have two smiles – one that is only a reflection of the outside world, there are times when I smile even if my insides hurt and I’m breaking in pieces, but I smile just cuz the “world is smiling” at me, and I cant help but wonder at its beauty.
This is my “insane smile”.
And there is my inside smile… the one that comes from my heart, but ironically – to the world outside it is then when I seem insane… “smiling without reason”… is then when my heart is smiling.
So either way… “gone insane” or ur heart is healed… it’s so damn good to be able to smile :)
It is damn good, isn't it?
:)
