Take control,
Understand that there is more at stake than pride,
God knows that's all there ever was,
Pride,
Wars were fought for less,
But for you,
For me,
It's all there is,
All there ever was,
Fighting against what we built,
With these barren hands,
Juxtaposed with the beauty of our creation,
Broken by pride,
Shattered beyond repair,
How could it be,
Perfection,
So ruined by a state of mind,
So marred by an action taken,
In pursuit of something more,
A record on the table,
The ashtray in the corner,
Brings us down,
To reality,
Out of the dream,
The shooting stars no longer fly for us,
Choking on the bitter reality,
Realizing,
Nothing ever mattered.
Nothing,
It's all there is,
It's all there ever was.
