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?
