Description
Untitled - by Brett FlowersThank you Baby
Take this for what it is
Stand back as I self-destruct
Intoxicated world of my construct
Disconnect from it one pill at a time
I've been searching for what I’ll never find
Tired of hearing your apologetic alibis
Pull the trigger on your unfettered lies
Oh but once upon a time
I could hold you close
These things don't last i suppose
The sweet scent of your rose
These things don't last i suppose
Memories still haunted by your ghost
I guess everything has its day to die
Not to worry Baby
I'm not your concern
Lie to my face again
Inspiration for all that I will never be
Sing your narcissistic lullaby
It takes me home one last time
Where I lost my heart long ago
the frozen wasteland of your plateau
Oh but once upon a time
I could hold you close
These things don't last i suppose
The sweet scent of your rose
These things don't last i suppose
Memories still haunted by your ghost
I guess everything has its day to die
Watch me Baby
An empty smile across my face
Puts you back in place
The look within my eyes
All a part of the lies
Just breathe back one more time
I need only a little longer to find
The strength to let it go
Let me break and say no
Once upon a time
I could hold you close
Everything has its day to die
The sweet scent of your rose
Everything has its day to die
Memories still haunted by your ghost
Today is its day to die

I find bits and pieces of "The Outsider" by A Perfect Circle strewn about in there. Don't know if that's intentional or not.
I like the way this poem captures the garbled emotions that come with a failed relationship.
I really like the refrain:
Oh but once upon a time
I could hold you close
These things don't last i suppose
The sweet scent of your rose
These things don't last i suppose
Repeating those lines really reinforces the mood.

Great song by a great artist, but it has been so long since i have listed to any APC. so any similarities I am sorry to say must be purely coincidental. thanks for your thoughts though ^_^. sorry i don't get on here much anymore, glad that someone still looks at my stuff from time to time.

seems like i know that right now. and getting to the point of realizing that sad truth is pure hell. your words still have magic in them.
