Press Play
The truth itself will befall upon you
And your etched out wings
In time
In time
Don’t look at me with that crushed look on your face any longer
You’ve done this to yourself
That lonely tear dripping down your face
Shall remain lonely forever
For you shall never weep in my presence
You brought this upon yourself
And may your soul be rendered in silence
Alone in the whistling cold nights
For the deed you’ve done requires payment
Once live, now deceased you stand in front of me
Awaiting the punishment for your lies
And instruments of evil
I turn my back on you
I turn a cold shoulder to you
You who has traded your soul for this wreck
This mess
It was never worth it
Are you happy now
Now that you can never shine
You traded your soul for fame
And now your name alone will shine without the real
You behind it
I toss my head back giving a hearty laugh before striding away from you
Always
And always it is that I would come right back to you
And you knew this
In fact you expected this of me
But now I leave you in shock
Take your name
Your Fortune
And fame to run with it chasing happiness
But your legs will simply tire and crash
Then you will find yourself alone
In a red desert
Where you will regret standing up at all
Then you will remember in flashes
Those lazy mornings when
You would wake up yawning loudly, throw on clothes
And walk right out of the house
When your hair could look as crazy
As you wanted it to
Without people talking
When every flash didn’t cause you to jump and cover your face
Or pose and smile
When your life was your own
When your name was unknown
And you could just be you
Now that time has long passed
And unfortunately
There is no rewind button
So rot in your unwanted fame
And fortune
Rot in your somber cold
Dreamless life
This time when you call for me I wont turn around
Or hear a sound
I cannot forgive you this last time
There is no rewind button
So its time for me to stop acting like it
And press play in my own life
