There was a story of a shattered illusion At least The colours sprawled out on the floor Would resemble some vague monet you couldnt quite put your finger on The travesty of broken comfort of trying to attaim ill fitting goals with compromised dreams. Grand delusions of something special of ornery A great trick A magnificent swindle You had me fooled at hello Half lit passion spooled you almost had me at goodbye You worked the game Amassed your goals on the arch of my back And here i was, bendong over backwards to convince myself i was in love and it was something special In the end, **** dust settled and sunlight refecting off broken shards Struck in the face with reality The one where im just another failing priority. Where its easier and cheaper to stay like some sorry sympathy **** Where you get to say all the extra effort the days working three jobs was worth it because you chose to stay so i should be grateful. Nice. It figures why youve never really stood up for me you were far too interested in what others thought of you and just happy i was the place they could lay your blame. And somehow you still find a way to sleep at night You scoff at my pain You think i draw from an endless well of strength While you only draw double standards I guess this last revelation was the nail in the coffin i didnt want to make It took so long to fashion its my greatest work of art The pain of passion the torture of the artist Formerly known as the love of your life Titled my grandest mistake.
