[Intro]
So what's the word?
[Verse 1]
I'm looking for a word that can ease the pain
That we all suffer from living in a world that's insane
A simple word I could shout out or blurt
And that would take away all of the hurt
A word to soothe your soul when the tears flow
And that would make the smile on your face glow
Bury your bad memories in a deep grave
Free your mind from the chains of an emotional slave
A word as pretty as a purple sunset
A word so powerful you'll never forget
That I'd be willing to do anything for you
But I just need to know what to do
[Chorus]
I'm looking for a word, is it a secret word?
I wish there was a word
[Verse 2]
I wish there was a word that could help you heal
That could take away all the pain you feel
Not asking for a word that can cure a disease
Just a word to put your mind at ease
I'm looking for a way to communicate
That all the people on the earth can relate
A way to make the confusion cease
And that would bring us all some peace
I'm looking for a word that won't let you down
That'll give you strength when I'm not around
A word that can fill you up when you're past empty
A peaceful place in your mind that's is always rent free
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah I got to slow down
Cause too much is going down
How many times can one person cry?
How many times can one person die?
[Chorus]
I'm looking for the word, that special magic word
I'm looking for the word, the secret word
[Post-Chorus]
So what's the word?
So what's the word?
So what's the word?
So what's the word?
So what's the word?
So what's the word?
[Bridge]
My, my, my, another lie
Why, why, why, you got to lie?
So what's the word?
[Verse 3]
I spend too much time wondering, what the hell is wrong with me?
Where all you see is joy, pain is all I see
Suffocating in a world full of schemers
Who are taking advantage of the hopes of the dreamers
I need a word to let you know that I need help
Cause sometimes I get so down on myself
Trying to find my place in this madness
Drowning myself in a cesspool of sadness
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah I got to slow down
Cause it's getting so out of hand
Half of my homies that stood so proud next to me
Are doing time in the state penitentiary
[Outro]
Lie. lie, lie, until you die
Lie, lie, lie, until you die
So what's the word?
