you're just as coward
hiding behind that
indestructible mask
a tribute to a world
shaped with callousness
cruelty and disgust
you lured me in
by your remarkable
and unmistakable charms
I settled and rested
my confused and disenfranchised mind
you made me believe
it was you I seeked to find
you captured my weakened heart
and captivated my soul
only to toss it back
in the burning shadows
oh yes look at me
feast on this frayed body
for today is your last chance
to see me shattered and wasted
lies and betrayal I now release
back to your world of deceit
and yes it is not me
but you that was the culprit
and across the new horizon
colored life blooms in the open
my world, my refuge
and yes, I am not looking back
I will with my new me
move forward.
