Wasted

Therein lies the answer, Therein lies the truth, Therein lies confession, When wounded hearts we sooth For reality is stark and painful, When we turn into fools, And the moment we admit it, Is the time we break the rules, And ignorance is bliss, For the hidden nail is seldom hammered, I’m not sure about you, But keep away from me please, Keep away from me please, For the night is young and lovely, And the voice of the party is to be happy, I don’t really need you now, I don’t need you conscience, To tell me I am wrong, For a just want to drown myself, And get lost in this song Chorus... ( Tonight I’m running naked And the dawn will make me cry For I hate baring my soul by day When the darkness bids goodbye Tonight I’ll cast away my chains And away from you I’ll fly So deep you won’t be reaching me No matter how hard you try ) ...End of chorus Therein lies delusion Therein lies the beast Therein lies obsession When from tired hearts we feast For the lies we weave are dark and silken When we feed on deceit And the soft flesh of misery, Is where we sink our teeth Dark temptation is real, For the walls we make are easily trampled, I’m so sure about it so keep away from me please Keep away from me please, I’d rather be alone and lonely, For later you’ll just regret my company, Go, keep away from me now I have lost my conscience That tells me right from wrong, So if you don’t want to drown yourself, Don’t fall hard for this song REPEAT CHORUS

Wow! Awesome read. I sometimes feel like this and want people to "keep away from me please." Thanks for sharing.
