“My oh my! It’s quite sad what you’ve become...

“Sooner than later, you succumbed”

Well I’m sorry that I wasn’t innocent

I promise, all I wanted was some fun

Still, yea-a-a, I agree

That it’s better to be deceived

It seems you and I are one in the same

So let’s not pass the blame, I don’t want your shame

That’s that, learn when to quit

Though I admit, I’m a bit of a hypocrite

With jealousy I have frequent chats over how, for this life, I’m unfit

“Deny this life and win the game”

We earned a prize that never came

I wasted my time and got what I deserved

But we made a vow, you can’t back out now

Keep putting on an act so the world remains intact

Sleighting hands make their demands, and the seasons never change

This kindness has a catch

I mean, is it really that far fetched?

Nightmares like to creep when no one’s asleep

Forget this life, here I thought that we could make a deal

And that dream I had

Tell me, was any of that real?

A promise lined with silver and gold

I’d half a mind to fulfill this urge

In a wonderland where nothing’s quite right

Through this selfishness I thought I would’ve learned

That this give and take cannot be overturned

I know I don’t deserve control but I can’t help but feel a little bold

‘Cause as long as your eyes are on me, it’s fine if we play make believe

So throw away your nightlight, tuck me in and sing, “Goodnight!”

FOOLISH :)

Though I admit, I always was

Years of deceit, the perfect product of

Day in, day out, I’m still being taught

Everything’s outside what I would have thought

I want to see the best in things, but I can’t trust those behind the strings

To stand idly by and fall in love with this lie

Waiting, biding time, isn’t that a crime?

Ain’t it a little trite to keep picking and choosing what’s wrong and right

And of course I’m the guilty party

It’s not that hard to outsmart me

But where’s my judge? My jury? My sympathizer?

Turned away so I stayed none the wiser

I guess this was all for naught

Still, you dare be concerned when I’m caught?

Keep putting on an act so the world remains intact

Sleighting hands make their demands

And time seems to stop

Seems living has a catch

I mean, is it really that far fetched?

Nightmares like to creep when no one’s asleep

Forget this life, here I thought that we could make a deal

And that dream I had

Tell me, was any of that real?

A promise lined with silver and gold

I’d half a mind to fulfill this urge

In a wonderland that’s just out of sight

Through this selfishness I thought I would’ve learned

That this give and take cannot be overturned

I know I don’t deserve control but I can’t help but feel a little bold

‘Cause as long as your eyes are on me, it’s fine if we play make believe

So decide who deserves to profit from a life that hands out hardships so often

No other options…?

Substitute these evils any way you please

Call it destiny, but you’re not fooling me

Forget this life, let’s become exactly what we feared

In that dream I had, everyone disappeared

I promised I’d fulfill my role

I warned you, yet even so

There’s no way out

So, give in to all of your doubts

Forget this life, here I thought that we could make a deal

And that dream I had

Tell me, was any of that real?

A promise lined with silver and gold

I’d half a mind to fulfill this urge

In a wonderland where nothing’s quite right

Through this selfishness I thought I would’ve learned

That this give and take cannot be overturned

I know I don’t deserve control but I can’t help but feel a little bold

‘Cause as long as I can be deceived, it’s fine if we play make believe

No right nor wrong, don’t you agree? I’ll throw away this passing glee

No matter how you beg and plea, it’s time we woke up from this dream
