Is it - What it is ????

It is what it is.
It was what it was.
Winning at all the losing just because.

It ain't what it ain't
And it don't feel like love
It feels like the dying of a dove

Because what I say means nothing
And all my words are lost
The price of stealing kindness is what's lost

Birds on the winds now
Just flying through the sky
Looking for the nests where they can die

Because it is what we've made it
Just another empty dream
Because nothing is ever what it seems

Wasting on a wire
Like another endless scream
All my words just deadened in the stream

It is what it is now
It ain't what it ain't
Colored my whole world with blackened paint

It is what it was now
It wasn't just because
Words all dying like the dying dove

In a time of endless sorrow
In a time when loss wins out
I look around and all I see is doubt

And maybe I'm mistaken
Or maybe I'm a cloud
But it is what is and it's surely raining now....
