I was with you then, despite my best advice
Obsessed with you then, false idols do entice
Pathetic naivety
It knows no boundary
As you looked into me
I melted shamelessly
I’d have died for you then, your pain I’d take away
Your misplaced loyalties I’d fix someday
Give all my strength to save you
Before I failed and joined you
Gave my life in lieu
Attacked by moral sinew
I loved you then, threw my life away for you
My dreams, my kin, my political view
Feel free to throw it back
This spine of mine will crack
My morals soon will slack
And strength I soon will lack
I beg you now, I’m on my knees explaining
Melting away, forgiveness now is waning
You look me in the eyes
Throw back your cruelest lies
Blame me for your reprise
Asphyxiate my cries
I still need you though, but reality's sinking in
The mess we have made corrupts from within
There’s nothing left to say
I’ll watch you walk away
Your costs I can’t defray
My mind gave up today
Hope surrendered now, the black sea of feelings hush
Ashamed of you now, my ties to you do blush
Burn them away somehow
My heart has made its vow
To love I bitterly bow
And emptiness allow
It’s quiet now, I’ll no longer ask you why
Love drained, respect for you runs dry
Desperation’s scream is mute
Your blindness I salute
Your dumbness so astute
Irony does pollute
So goodbye now, your prophesy you fulfilled
The raging fire we've been stoking has chilled
And I cannot advise
Convince you otherwise
Acquired your own demise
No fool to your disguise
So emptiness now, a silent scream of its own
A numbing pain that I’ll forever own
The fight in me has flown
These seeds that you have sewn
You surely should have known
That one day I’d disown
This tomb we’ve finally blown
