Just Say Cheerio Goodbye

Maybe the cocaine was the bridge over the insurmountable ridge, the remaining light in the mist that forever flickering uplift, which helped me escape the barren landscape and guided me from a deadened fate
As the eyeballs were rolling 
I saw rivals gloating 
realising their hopes 
to sink what floats 
my boat 
sailing the open overboard under and ghosting wet 
while they are dry and toasting vexed 
they grapple grip and motion strap 
out to strip away my showmen clap 
force their laughter lift their vitals, 
the core of my life in survival 
friends of mine I’d fight or die for 
ditching me for their own revival, 
pointing out how I’m imperfect, 
critically proclaim the verdict, 
predictably derailed the circuit, 
taking my place on the perches, 
always talking making sound 
always walking the same ground 
going nowhere nothing found 
always smiling upside frown
when I fall they better me 
when I’m tall they lesser me 
equal ground their messing me 
let ‘em go and let it be 
leave them and their misery 
always seeking victory 
nasty cruel and viciously 
when friends feel beat 
they must compete 
as they feel weak 
and strength they seek 
wont celebrate what you’ve achieved 
they sit they hate they feel aggrieved 
as they wholeheartedly believed 
you are someone down beneath 
but the twisted plot in the tale 
is you succeed and they just fail 
it cannot be and won’t prevail 
they’ll knock you down aiming for Hell 
because that’s what friends are all about 
don’t do the things come out their mouth 
their place is north looking down on south 
with their knowledge while you have doubt 
but now you’ve shown what you can do 
their only move is destroy you 
revealing colours oh so true 
not so pleasant from this view 
and now because they’ve caught your eye 
you can see they lie and lie 
persistently they try and try 
just say cheerio goodbye
