The floor beneath me crumbles away.
The picture that you've drawn dissolves.
I used to take the words you said to me on faith.
My sacrilege was in knowing,
But loving you this long.
The sparkles in your eyes ignite me;
Reflections of your teary eyes.
You can take the words I say on faith.
Enough now of this heresy.
I've loved you for too long.
What was a singularity
Began to walk in single file.
Now agents of your faithless heart
Fall to the heaping pile.
You came to me as someone
I would give my life to serve
But the way that you are now
Means my whole world has changed
I don't know
If it's better or it's worse
I only know
That it's real.
Your regal words designed a world
That was fitting to my foolish heart.
I thought that you worked magic but it was illusion.
My blasphemy was in knowing
And still loving you this long.
The tender nature of your lie enticed me.
I put my faith in it.
I gave my life to you.
I gave, gave you all,
My all is true;
And lie is all you do
My blasphemy was seeing it,
And letting it continue.
At first it was a trickle,
But it became a stream.
Now the riverbanks erode,
Washed out in your flood.
You came to me as someone
I would give my life to serve
But the way that you are now
Means my whole world has changed
I don't know
If it's better or it's worse
I only know
That it's real
Not just a lie,
Not just a scheme,
It is exactly as it seems.
I don't know
If it's better or it's worse.
I only know
That it's real.
Here on this street, you try talk to me;
I don't want to hear it,
There is nothing more you have for me.
Watch me get smaller down the street,
So I don't have to hear
Another word of your fantasy.
