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
