Self-Delusioned

Little by little we stand time and time again we fall Like characters in a TV show sacrificing all Baby, you're the medication in my veins a photograph in the fire Am I just dying? Or falling forever? Someone answer me! We've already written the history, sweetheart. Penned it in gasoline and motor oil. Are you my savior? Or another terror in the night? Mona's crying bloody murder lie like she did to me. Someone save me! Salvage something from this empty cup Have we lived for so long only to lose the war? Victims of the aftermath soldiers for hypocrisy Don't make me call your name It's killing me so slowly to hear you walk away. Like a ghost, I don't know what's real. But something, something's gotta give! Because we've been puppets for forever tied in our own string. Faulted beyond forgiveness. Damned by our self-delusionment. Can anyone see me?
