Eating Away

Never happy with how things end, how ironic

I won't be doing this forever
I sit with my head in my hands
How are we both as selfish as this
I'm not drunk but I'll pretend to be
It helps keep the thought alive
And people assume that I'm still here
Because I left the lights on
But I'll keep my lips sealed
My words have proved to be worthless
My life is pretty useless
I'll join the club
I'll walk through that door
With a white light clutched in my left
I'll make my peace with the demons within
Foolish attempts at apologies
Self timed lights will keep the illusion I'm home
Call me selfish and I'll agree
None can out greed myself
Caught myself out on the lies I tell myself
To help me get by Day to day
I've ran out of words to try and convince
You'll be glad that I've gone
