say it ain't so
who am i to you
caught between me and who
you want me to be
these nightmarish theatrics only complicate the truth
uneasy your head sways in the discord
set in motion by the truth
the art of contortion no longer applies
to the body but the mind
you told a lie, thought nothing by it
even though you tore the bond enabling us to fly
ripping out my soul im lost and you're the one to find
lost amongst our worlds, leaving dead history behind
every time you act i follow staying torn apart
left inside a hollow mind
I knew this from the start
your presence plagues my mind even in my dreams
I am crippled by your stare
underneath it all i am falling apart
a ghost like memory
trust has faded what i once knew has been exposed
your lies spread like fire, engulfing my entirety
trust has faded learning to rise and take a stand
for what is right i will never be like you
trust has faded. I will never be like you.
i must extract myself from you.
a message so inept you could hardly even
notice everything happens for a reason
all roads in life lead you to where you are right now.
and every dream is yours to create.
take every step as a lesson learned
apply the past rebuild anew this world is yours.
trust has faded learning to rise and take a stand
for what is right i will never be like you
never be like you
