Cup of Make Believe

I have squandered youth
In vain pursuits

In buying lies
And selling truth

I have poisoned love
With one drop too much

But one thousand more
Is not near enough

Filled my cup with make believe
I sipped sweet lies to the lees

I abandoned life
To crawl towards death

My heart still beats
With nothing left

Baby live your dreams
You're still my queen

The judge's hammer
Will fall on me

I've been holding onto memories
You're song still plays inside of me

Empty cup of make believe
Precious years you've stolen from me

Follow the White Rabbit

Down the rabbit hole
Life rapidly unfolds
Drinking the bittersweet
Can’t stand upon my feet
Just down another pill
Is this fate or my free will?

Oh the answers never come

All I can do is run
And disappear
What have I become?
Fading into shadows

At the barrel of a gun

Voices call to me
It’s pure insanity
Losing all control
I never seem to know
How to fill this void
Am I human or a toy?

Oh I feel like a little boy

All I can do is run
And disappear
What have I become?
Fading into shadows
At the barrel of a gun

Run, run, run away

All I have is lies (hiding shame)
Lies to escape (kill the pain)
From pain that never dies

This pain will never die
This pain will never die
This pain will never die
