Primrose Path

You’re a mess, you’re a shell
Of your former self
I digress, it’s what’s left
Of nothing grateful
Now your shadow stands taller than you could ever be
I am alive
Defying gravity
Yet you take pride
You take pride in yourself
But all you’ll ever live by
Is just a shadow of someone else
That you wish you could be
You always claimed to be a saint
And talk about the love you spread
But at the end of the day
You never fail to show your true self
Distress
Cause you aren’t the same as us
Chase away what lifts you up
Your heart turned from stone to dust
Your world is just fantasy
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer
No matter how hard you struggle you’re still starting over
At least I still have a hope
That wants to believe
So don’t act like a victim when you turn the other cheek
Your bleeding heart’s not on your sleeve
Live by what you mean
Not what you fake
So tell me what is it worth fighting for
When everything that you live by is a lie
So tell me what is it worth fighting for
When everything that you live by is a lie
You’re living your life full of lies
You’re hiding behind a disguise
When you realize
That real lies
Come from real eyes
It maybe your demise
Don’t take pride
In living a lonely life
Distress
Cause you aren’t the same as us
Chase away what lifts you up
Your heart turned from stone to dust
Your world is just fantasy
