So sycophantic yet so fated to lose
Hopeless romantic but you don’t love the truth when it hurts
So sick and frantic trying to hide all the clues
But you’ve been blinded by your own point of view
And I won’t take no for an answer
You’ve blown the last of your chances
And it’s all done now, don’t waste any breath
Cos you don’t have much of it left
Your self reflection is a lie you consume
Stuck in your own mind staring out from the gloom
Your self perception is so broken and skewed
Cracks in the mirror show the shards of your doom

I do it all the time and
Don’t care if you mind
It’s all in the way you keep repeating
In, come and drink it in boy
Drowning in your sins for
All that pride you could not bear to swallow
And whatever you feel like, you don’t have feel it alone
And whatever you do wrong, you don’t have to do it alone
And whenever your dream dies, you don’t have to die alone
Cos the ending is never the end
I’m dead to all your shame and
Don’t need you to explain and
Don’t care about your pain and self importance
Vain, staring into your face and
Bathed in the echoes you’ve made and
Feeding on the mundane for one more hit now
I do it all the time and
Don’t care if you mind
It’s all in the way you keep repeating
In, come on stick it in
The needles and the pins
Its ok, we’re here to watch and share it

I’ve noticed the way you hide your scars
Dressed in denial you always look the part
The subject is changed before it starts
But in your eyes the hatred leaves it mark
I realised the truth
Is just as strange as you
But as enigmas go
You’re not so hard to solve
The pages you don’t want read are gone
You tore them out, redacting your own thoughts
This madness so practiced and rehearsed
I’ve seen the lines the inbetween bleeds through
Come closer, I’ll only say this once
Stop everything before you come undone
You’re failing to grasp what you’ve become
This joke is tired so crack another one
