The Fall of Friendship
The Fall of Friendship
What emotions still bind me here
Caged with this crass ideal
That I should act as others wish
A mouse that spins a wheel
A clown that's here to set the stage
A ghost within the wind
A shadow safe to trample on
We were not really friends
I'm too confused to loose my tongue
And too angry to breathe
I'm too fed up with all this (filth)
And too (ticked) off to leave
Watch as an awkward silence falls
And I appear your toy
The old world seems to melt away
As light reveals the ploy
Like a ferocious volcano
Who's rage can move the earth
And cause such fearful trembling
Before exploding forth
No chains remain within my heart
My thoughts hold certainty
The anger dammed will burst apart
That flood will set me free
