Gimmered Memories

We are all drenched in each other’s raindrops,

Sitting so high and mighty on top.

They have fallen with such a soft sound,

But we’re faded, pitiful and broken now.

Our tears will wash over the sands of the beach,

While we think of glimmered memories, so out of reach.

We are one.  Now aligned with the ash-gray sky,

Far away from the land and powered light

That would lead us back home to be angels.

Damned to serious ailments, it is our fate though.

We’ll dance alone, creating our own afflictions.

This clumsy life has become our addictions.

We’re all just charitable souls

Willing to give to the first case we know.

It would be nice if we had sterile hearts,

But we just have too many scars.

Our sores may sprout sunflowers one day.

And lunar dust will heal all our pain.

Who are we kidding? We will only collapse.

We will never have a natural life back.

It is just our supernatural virtue

Decided before birth.  No dignity to ensue.

Our hopes and dreams, merely iridescent silk,

Too rich and beautiful for us to get a taste of its milk

Because we eat temptation like a perfect pastry,

And we’re not tangible, only imaginary.

Manipulation

You're keeping it locked on your lips,

And you're thinking nobody knows it.

The only safety is distance,

So you're pushing them, pushing them.

They hang onto every word you say,

But there's not one truth you make.

You're the master of these games,

And you're playing them, playing them.

They don't know that you're hanging by a thread.

Treading the water, but drowning instead.

Secrets and lies waking up from your bed.

Now you're walking on airs without a care out in the public eye,

But you used and abused the ones who saved you, when the darkest hour was near behind .

With just a snap of your finger, your servants linger eager in manipulation,

But I'm learning how with what I know now not to give into your instigation.

You burned me and broke me before my eyes but I know now.

It's really not intelligent

How you're burning so many bridges.

A lover who merely quits

Is not for sale, not for sale.

I'm standing with a loaded hand,

And you just pulled the trigger.

You don't have long to stand

Cause you're gonna fall, gonna fall.

You  don't know that you're hanging by a thread.

Treading the water, but drowning instead.

Secrets and lies waking up from your bed.

Now you're walking on airs without a care out in the public eye,

But you used and abused the ones who saved you, when the darkest hour was near behind .

With just a snap of your finger, your servants linger eager in manipulation,

But I'm learning how with what I know now not to give into your instigation.

You burned me and broke me before my eyes but I know now.

I have a little secret:

I know, I know what you did.

I know, I know what you did.

You burned and broke me down,

But I stand stronger now.

Cause I know, I know what you did.

I know, I know what you did.

I know, I know what you did.

And I like the taste of revenge.

Now you're walking on airs without a care out in the public eye,

But you used and abused the ones who saved you, when the darkest hour was near behind .

With just a snap of your finger, your servants linger eager in manipulation,

But I'm learning how with what I know now not to give into your instigation.

You burned me and broke me before my eyes but

I like the taste of revenge
