Insincere

Cascading light portrays my eyes as an insincere bleak apology
It never lasted, it was always bleeding through, the cracks of my cold blue lips
You never meant a word you said
You played me as a fool
But it did come down
It did come down on you
Your words gave me strength to succeed, and all I see is despair
I will be better than that
I will use your views as my motivation, as a tool to better myself
One taste of the life you live makes me think, "How was it brought this far?"
You never meant a word you said
But it gives me strength
You played me as a fool but it did come down on you
I watched it unfold - in front of my eyes
One taste of the life you live makes me think, "How can this be?"
I watched it burn down to the ground with all your hopes and screams aloud
How was it brought this far?
The burden on our shoulders will make us fall in the end
How can this be?
How could this have happened?
