Careful not to let down your guard
Or you will turn this conversation
Into a cry for help
Before you make an attempt
You sacrifice another day to this dead-end race
This façade reopens old wounds
To think of letting go...
How could you
When I sacrificed it all?
Now lend your faith
Towards somewhere else
This path will lead to avarice so
I'll secure my place in Hell
There is no crawling out
While you're still alive
Stand tall to watch a shelf life
Wear itself out
My purpose here feels antiquated
And like a double-edged sword
It brought out the worst in me
No better than the words I speak
A contoured reaction sheds
An inkling of truth
That dissolved upon its debut
