Barrowed Time

Many will claim  to be your friend .
Speak greatly about when your around.
Tell your the best just to get what they need.

And you in return will  will become a shadow of who you once were.
Becuse you want to belive.
Your not blind yet you choose  to stay in the dark.


Taking false thoughts over harsh realitys.
Changing  into them.
Speaking there lingo telling there lies.

A free drink in a empty bar.

were clowns all surround you there goofy chatter 
means nothing.
they feast apon truth  and free will.
There attention is that of a misquote

Drinking from some half drunk fool  who only 
 spots the pest   untill he filled wih blood.
And to heavy to rd to fly away.

But when amoungest   piranah  your only 
Living on borrowed  time.
