Myriad levels of interpretation.

ALL - "Bubble Gum"

Warm, and sweet and soft and pink
Or so I was led to believe
The good things went from bad to worst
Every bubble has to burst

It seemed so sweet before, but not anymore
Just chewed me up and spit me out like bubblegum

Cold and bitter, hard and grey
The whole world seems to be that way
Its no surprise. Its only life.
It makes me want to hide inside
It used to make me cry, but now I'm just to numb

What seemed so sweet before, means nothing anymore
Just chewed me up and spit me out like bubblegum

Small minds firing words that freeze
Conspire to drive me to my knees
Fine. I know that I can find
Courage burning deep inside
Fire to keep me warm for when the winter comes

It just so bad before, but never anymore
I'll never be used up like that by anyone
Never be used up like bubblegum

It seemed so sweet before.
