Time Has Told
time has told
as days grow old
either shy or bold
people's hands unfold
to show who they really are
and some are left with scars
some belong behind prison bars
others gaze and meditate towards the stars
nothing is new under the sun
for I can't be the only one
that has come undone
putting myself back together just wasn't fun
putting together the pieces
of a game that never ceases
if only the wicked way eases
and at last justice releases
time has told
as if souls have been sold
perhaps it was for silver or gold
or the hearts and minds grew ever so cold
it was not that my eyes were shut
it was anything but
for I saw something coming; but exactly what?
laying in wait for me to turn around and then they cut
ocean deep betrayal
New York Times bestseller fictional portrayal
slander on a grandiose scale unveil
fish stories and tall tales
ugliness galore on the inside
spewing over so it doesn't hide
no longer will I let it slide
no longer will I join them for a ride
time has told
secrets behold
where is the loyalty of old?
now like a kindled fire gone cold
what happened to all of us?
all the arguing and making a fuss
and you did what you did because?
how can you expect things to be what was?
before
no more
what has happened; has happened sore
again; it will be no more
never again
never again
never again
you were supposed to be my friend
but time has told...
