So many songs about finding the one
How they found you and life’s begun
But what about the people who never know
Living life with emptiness they never show
What happens when the one leaves?
Stolen heart by lying thieves
How much more can the heart strain
When the love dragon has been slain
They say if you’ve loved you’ll love again
This is logic upon which I cannot depend
So what about this middle ground?
Where ghosts of happiness sound
Echoes that have you running blind
You can’t fix the past you left behind
You start to lose your composure
Spent yourself in hopes of closure
But these distractions only scar
And they never get you very far
But who is surprised
You are no longer disguised
Cards all out on the table
This is a horror story not a fable
A story of torture and delusion
Insurmountable loss and confusion
Where there is no happy ending
No use in pretending
The truth is it was a lie
Now you must decide
Do you stay in the house of mirrors?
Or join the band of losers?
Run this maze until you’ve run out of breath?
Or lie down admit defeat and give into death?
How about being undead
Living out the lies we were fed
Disproving that joy can last
And the present can do without the past
