I call for you but you won’t come and save me. Forgotten by all the ones i’ve loved and the ones who’ve said they cared. I guess its my distrustful faith in a sea of snakes. Push it all down, push it all away. Spare me of your counterfeit attempts of saving face. Holding on because you have something to gain. I see right through your two faces and I can’t relate. Your so called “friends” are dead. You use the loss just for the attention. That little blue bird feeds your image of imitation. Hit your head falling from the social ladder you crave. Birds of a feather so fake and you are all the same. When it all goes dark, no ones coming back for you. Forgotten from the start, so there is nothing left to prove. Everyone moves on and there is nothing you can do. No sense in holding on because in the end we’re born to lose. I fall back into the dark. Isolation beckoning, separate. No one’s coming back for me, no. You left me behind in the ashes of what used to be. I’m lost in your absence. Everything I’ve loved is now past tense. Forgotten, I was just a memory. Just a fragment. When it all goes dark, no ones coming back for you. Forgotten from the start, so there is nothing left to prove. Everyone moves on and there is nothing you can do. No sense in holding on because in the end we’re born to lose. The mask you wear must be heavy hanging off your face. Bury your skeletons before the vultures start to feed. I don’t need anyone. I don’t need anything. Human kind is exhausting. I’ve become so drained. Human kind is exhausting i’ve become so drained of life. You take away my energy. I will not conform to the game. Fuck your status and your false sense of superiority. It means nothing to me. When it all goes dark, no ones coming back for you. Forgotten from the start, so there is nothing left to prove. Everyone moves on and there is nothing you can do. No sense in holding on because in the end we’re born to lose. I will not succumb to you. You sit at tables with the plastic personalities. The cowards play a cowards game and bite the hand that feeds. You’re subject to become another cog in the machine. Another carbon copy and you all mean nothing to me. You are nothing to me. Take your place in the waste with all of the flies bathing in shit, feeding their false images. You’re jaded, caught in the chains of all I despise. Sedated behind a gate of this exclusivity. I will denounce the hate and all of the lies. Drenched in the venom you spit and you don’t even realize your fate is paved with the nameless graves of the blind. You’re rotting inside a hive, devoid of love and light.
