This is my chance to distance myself from fiction
Our synthetic life was censored, contrived
No point of reference
This used to mean something
I used to feel something
Keep your pity I don’t need it
Wish I could blame this all on you
Sometimes I look around
And can’t accept this is it now
It might’ve never been real
But at least I got to pretend for a while
My life has become stranger than fiction
The darkness comes and goes
But it’ll never take me
Misread the signs
The road to our fall is paved in lies
I watched my heaven turn to ash
As those I trusted looked away
Now you’re a ghost to me
A delusional lie
A fantasy
The infection
Has poisoned our focus
For too long
In search of anything
That we can know is real
There’s no where to run this time
I need to know you see this
Tell me there’s beauty but I can’t feel it now
Some day today
Will fade in to the darkest corners of my memory
If I could go back
I’d grit my teeth
And still go through with this
I need to know you see this
Tell me there’s beauty but I can’t feel it
I can’t accept that this is it now
The darkness comes and goes
But it’ll never take me
Burning the bridges to nowhere
