It's all happening too fast
Been going on for too long now
And every time I sit down to write
I want to say the same things every time
That's when you know it's bad
I'm tired...
No, that's not the word
Apathetic?
No
Bored?
Done
I'm done
This game has grown stale
I no longer have the energy
Or desire
To try anymore
It's not worth it
I feel it deep down
And I can tell that you do, too
As days creep by
I realize more and more
That I'm okay with it
It's what I want
To let go
You feel it, too
It's nothing you can hide
And I keep extending my hands
Grabbing for you
So that I can tell you how I feel
But you keep running away
Slipping through my fingers
And you don't even realize
That the only thing I'm grasping for
Is a chance to leave

Black ashes of fear
Fell atop the city of our love
Preserving it as it was
Set in stone
We were too ignorant to see our demise
As it erupted
Right before us
Filling the sky with ominous, black clouds
That loomed overhead
Warning us of the destruction to come
Our fall was impending
Imminent
But we were naive
Swallowed in the dark
Choking on smoke and ash
But it was too late to run
And salvage what we could

Now nothing is left
But the dust and rubble
Of the city we once worshipped
Only the ruins
Remain

I thought that you were everything I wanted
And I assumed
That when I found that in a man
Things would go perfectly
You would know exactly what to do
And what to say
And how to make me feel
wanted
But we seem to have
trouble with that

I guess you're just not
What I thought you were

Every moment is fleeting
Every feeling is fleeting
But each feeling
Comes from somewhere
Some sort of trigger
Whether it be an occurrence
A word, a whisper, a want, a war
It all comes from something
Even if that something
Lives deep in a dark part of ourselves
That we never wanted to know
Existed

When someone trusts an investor
They are willing to give him
Every penny they own
Every piece of their life savings
They'll take a risk
Take a fall
They'll give it all
Faithful that he
Will bestow the same amount
-- Or more --
Back upon them

But what if he
Never returns
The investment?
