...Caustic Revelations

The catastrophe of love
Echoes within the blatant lie
Knowing I’ll never know why
It’s not your fault she says
But she isn’t me-She doesn’t feel the dread
Loss—Thoughts of it must be something I said
In this whirlpool I don’t want to leave
Draw me down into the depths, perceived
Perilous regrets
I think of nothing aside from what I may have done, beset
In a moment of clarity—Contaminated by my own warped thoughts
I killed myself for naught
Reprise
I told him lies because it hurt too much to care
Softness of his skin caressed the callous night air
I thought of him and I found I didn’t want to take the pills
Reality with him was a reminder of what I lost within
His sweet words a welcome escape
I knew it couldn’t last—He knew nothing of my past
Futures can’t be made on the grave of a soul too broken to save
Now I weep, unable to speak
I told him to move beyond
Dried leaves of my summer smile, long gone
I’m falling apart and can’t be saved—I sent him to the grave
Another victim I’ve claimed as his casket is lowered in the rain
Pills cried to me-- accept submission and escape the remission
I wrote him a love note and dropped it in
Letting him know soon I’ll be next to him
The catastrophe of love
Echoes within the blatant lie
Knowing I’ll never know why
It’s not your fault she says
But she isn’t me-She doesn’t feel the dread
Loss—Thoughts of it must be something I said
In this whirlpool I don’t want to leave
Draw me down into the depths, perceived
Perilous regrets
I think of nothing aside from what I may have done, beset
In a moment of clarity—Contaminated by my own warped thoughts
I killed myself for naught
Reprise
I told him lies because it hurt too much to care
Softness of his skin caressed the callous night air
I thought of him and I found I didn’t want to take the pills
Reality with him was a reminder of what I lost within
His sweet words a welcome escape
I knew it couldn’t last—He knew nothing of my past
Futures can’t be made on the grave of a soul too broken to save
Now I weep, unable to speak
I told him to move beyond
Dried leaves of my summer smile, long gone
I’m falling apart and can’t be saved—I sent him to the grave
Another victim I’ve claimed as his casket is lowered in the rain
Pills cried to me-- accept submission and escape the remission
I wrote him a love note and dropped it in
Letting him know soon I’ll be next to him
