Promises Promises

Promises, Promises...
Dwindle In Perspective
Decisions So Imminent
Often Less Persuasive
Searching For Some Answers 
In A Sea Of Questions
These Times So Uncertain
Show Fading Intentions

Promises, Promises...
Fade Into Forgotten Dreams
Giving In So Quickly
To Such Heartless Schemes
Strung Out To The End
On Te Verge Of Callous
When Will Reality Set In
And Resolve This Malice?

Promises, Promises...
Will We Waste Another Day?
Such False Premonitions
In The Words That You Say
Seldom A Solution
To Suffice The Soul
When Living A Lie
Truth Takes It's Toll!
