"Don't get your hopes up,"
|
Said the people I trust.
|
More easily said than done.
|
It's been a hard lesson.
|
There's something wrong
|
When one becomes
|
Reluctant to fall in love,
|
When one's own blood
|
Stands, pointing the gun.
|
|
My helplessness is a vicious cycle,
|
Causing frustration that debilitates.
|
One is truly paralyzed when one sees that time
|
Has begun to move too fast and too slow all at once.
|
And I can't determine whether it happened
|
Gradually or immediately,
|
But my own weakness is now apparent to me.
|
Every day, everyone lies
|
Even if they don't realize.
|
So, go ahead and decide.
|
Focus your eyes on mine,
|
Tell me everything I'd die
|
To hear after all this time.
|
You'll just change your mind.
|
And guilty conscience drives
|
You to justify your actions,
|
Then criticize mine.
|
|
Fool me twice.
|
I'm ashamed to find
|
These hopes have gotten so high.
|
Always half-expecting your story to change.
|
Give me your word, then rescind.
|
Spit my confessions back in my face.
|
Nothing replaces trust like total control.
|
|
My helplessness is a vicious cycle,
|
Causing frustration that debilitates.
|
One is truly paralyzed when one sees that time
|
Has begun to move too fast and too slow all at once.
|
And I can't determine whether it happened
|
Gradually or immediately,
|
But my own weakness is now apparent to me.
|
|
Fathers and heroes may make promises they cannot keep.
|
But for the sake of continuing my life, I will promise myself one thing:
|
That I send my last hope to apathy,
|
For it is the only hero that will save me.
