perhaps not lies but mistaken honesty
and not betrayal but confusion
perhaps the illusion's weight should weigh on me
in the dark of this conclusion
things tend toward chaos and ruin
the acceleration of constant action
keeps the orbit words profess
that which is may not always prove to be
things taken for granted are taken away from me
how useless is a cane that brakes when leaned on?
why carry a stick in times of strength
that will splinter when weakness comes?
when I thirsted, you offered your well
but the shallow stones of that hole have gone dry
goodbye, dear liar
I loved you as deep as you said your love went
the cost of this lesson is the value spent
on that which proved worth nothing at all
with friends like you who needs enemies at all?
it's far easier to tolerate an enemy
at least his convictions command my respect
can't deflect the attack one can not see
goodbye, my dear liar
you're free of me
