I thought I found the best A god among the rest But it was just a test It's just a jest A joke to show me I'm not real To show me I'll never truly feel How to love in life Without the strife Without the pain of past Showing me it can't last A fist full of lies Punching the inner me as it dies I'm on my last bump of hope As if it's a form of dope Thinking I'm gonna be alright Without the will to fight I just lie here and frown I'll wear my smiling painted mask And I'll drown In enough liquor to fill an endless flask

The Jest
I thought I found the best A god among the rest But it was just a test It's just a jest A joke to show me I'm not real To show me I'll never truly feel How to love in life Without the strife Without the pain of past Showing me it can't last A fist full of lies Punching the inner me as it dies I'm on my last bump of hope As if it's a form of dope Thinking I'm gonna be alright Without the will to fight I just lie here and frown I'll wear my smiling painted mask And I'll drown In enough liquor to fill an endless flask
