Own Fate

"Own Fate"

Contaminate their mind with lies,
believed that you left no evidence behind
but here I stand and truth I hold,
for I've been silently watching from the shadows...

I saw you fall then attempt to pretend,
that you were fine and no problems lived within
but your past always dwells in a part of your heart,
and no matter what you do you can never depart...

It follows closely, always awaiting
for the perfect opportunity, like when you're breaking
then it convinces you that it's time,
time to do a sin you'll just deny...

Slurred your words when I was around,
a sadness overwhelmed me, couldn't make a sound
at a loss of words and can't revive emotions
for this trust we once had remains now broken...

I tried to save you with every ounce of effort,
now here I lay limp, realization that it's over
and those dark eyes have truly seen it all,
pain and tears perhaps this is your last call...

I always reach out to bring you back,
but it's a failure and I always tend to lose track
explain, why you are this way, why you do it every day
just refrain, my dark eyes have seen it all too
now I'm still here for I feel I have something to prove
can't lose, no it's now or never, girl know you got to get better
for me, or at least can't you see what this does to me
now believe, listen intently it's my turn to do the venting
can she change, can she finally escape
before it's too late, only she can determine her own fate
her own fate...
