In the hotel safe are the counterfeit diamonds -- of the fake countess.

[ In the hotel safe ]
I've only just begun to begin the beginnings of what's to come They told me it couldn't be done and if it could it could never be undone Reinforced the foregone conclusion that I sure wouldn't be the person to get it done Maybe I'm a human counterfeit, a blasphemous false prophet, either way the unchosen one A complete waste of profit, a wayward prodigal son on the run With a set of wings designed for Icarus, the parable goes over my head as I race straight at the sun Swung for the fence and got my bell rung, if there's no brain damage it's at least gonna swell some from the concussion Son of a ***** would you look at that, they were right, it can't be undone Realization hit as the last song was sung, forced through a cancerous lung As the dung that fills me spills freely over my tongue on to everyone A headache for some, fun for no one, ask anyone ©2023

~•§•~ A Foregone Conclusion ~•§•~
I make money that is not real. I love to make counterfeit bills. I have a contact who steals the paper that the government makes. My counterfeit money looks like the real thing, I make no mistakes. I counterfeit fifty dollar bills. I have talent and I have skill. I make fifteen million bucks of counterfeit bills every year. But something has gone wrong, the Secret Service is here. They just busted down my door and I'm being placed under arrest. It's a pity that they found me because when it comes to making counterfeit money, I'm the best. I thought my operation was fool proof, I didn't know that I would fail. I underestimated the Secret Service and now I am going to rot in jail.

Counterfeit Money
I'm new to town I don't know how to hold my head sideways yet you flash a smile your pearly whites but they disappear like lightning and I'm learning fast to be a fraud how to counterfeit my laugh lines though the time will come when this faux attire will be worn like my coat of arms.

Counterfeit
If love is a drug than I don't want it. cause I got a gypsy soul for leaving and a mothers heart for scars in need of healing If love is a drug than I don't want it. Because I got no self control, An addict mind and habits ages old

Love is a Drug
How can we, so small Expect to win it all Our minds so full of us Blind our eyes to the one and only Jesus Remove our deceptive comfort That we cling like a favorite toy The sudden pain of life's adversities carries away our counterfeit joy For the lies of deceptive comfort only seek to destroy.

Deceptive Comfort
When you start something And you never quit When you set a goal And you work towards it When you have a dream But it’s counterfeit When you try so hard And you still fall down When you get back up And you look around So you then realize You’re in the background When your eyes open And you see the lie When you feel so hurt And you want to cry When you be yourself You suddenly fly! Who cares if they hate So filled with critique You make no mistakes Because you’re unique

When You Realize
You spare me a minute. Some words, Casual sentiment with hooks. XXX's marking my demise — Buried in self-pity and hope. Who believes those sappy love flicks? Heartthrob, tragedy and love saves the day! Beginning, middle, end. Counterfeit. Never. Seen. It. Happen. Love bleeds, Dying on the vine. In truth, there are no happy endings. Just endings.
