It always ends the same

Just like you knew it would

And all we have to do is watch

As it all falls apart.  

Unraveling in the air

The pieces fall

And the damage is done

Jumping the track

And tumbling, end over end. 

Nothing is easy

And nothing is free

Costing you

And costing me.

Someone had to lose

For someone else to win

And that is how it happens

And that's why its done. 

A sacrifice was made

Deep within the heart

Cutting me off

In the middle of the week. 

Letting me down

And cutting me loose

So that I fell forever

On the long way down. 

Some survive

And some do not

But survival is not enough

If you cannot grow

And cannot learn. 

The stupid go on

Without question or thought

And do the exact same things

That they always did before. 

Still looking for something

That they will never find

Empty on the inside

And blind as a bat.

But if I had not suffered

I would not have known

What it feels like to lose

And gain 

Everything. 

Good and evil

Is light and darkness

And woe to them

Who cannot see

And do not know. 

It is they, who will dangle

And it is they, who will die

Even though they murder,

And even though they lie.
