Bereft tonight
A soul wiped clean Deception stole That part of me Divinely uninspired Previous dreams retired Guess that means that once again The laughter, joke's on me. The tears that fall My every thought Just fuck it all So many bought Mistake affection And trade attention But somehow now that innocence Is worthlessness now taught. I used to love A mystery Running from My history Playing the hero While feeling zero And told the crazy illnesses Are merely smoke and trickery. My weary eyes My heart, it aches With every step My body breaks It's time to be free From all insanity So here I sit and contemplate How to fix all my mistakes. I've tried to smile My sword to fight Befriend the demons And find each light In retrospect They've stacked the deck Dejected now, look to the skies It's over; a failed compromise.
