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
