It's fucked up really…
This fusion of two pretenses
And I'm not impressed
By pomp and circumstance
Where the situation bleeds
And I'm at the mercy of
Mercenaries who choose
To rob the spirit of love
And tear apart what laws
Dictate matters of the heart
I'm in another fold of this dream
As it wriggles out of your grasp
And I'm going to say it
When it's not even the time
To give more than you've got
And I'm sincerely going to
Fiddle with the dial
Of your heart
And feed you what I've been
Told over and over again
What makes sense is to walk
Away from all of this
And to know it was never you
And it was not for me
It was what already is
An anomaly worth noting
But to fight to the end
For your mere mood swings
Reflecting nothing of consequence
And I'm going to realize
Sooner than better

The sound so... musical... so good together.
And yes. The sooner you realize it, the better. It IS fucked up. And yes, it would make sense to walk away...
Okay. Now I'm a fan too! Wow! What a brilliantly written piece;
"What makes sense is to walk
Away from all of this

It was what already is

Holy crap! This is perfect wordsmithing and delivers a VERY astute message to a very able listener - me! ;) Great job!
