Now you tried to take me higher, | |
But you only brought me down, | |
Now you're dancing in the mirror | |
With your self inflicted frown | |
You chose to use betrayal | |
As your final Tour De Force | |
And you did the same with another name | |
And you showed us your true colors | |
Will you feel the shame when you play this game | |
With other friends and surely others | |
And gradually you'll realize | |
That karma wants it's druthers | |
So you can't complain when you feel the pain | |
And hopefully remorse | |
Will your bulging purse remove the curse | |
That you got when you found the source | |
A momentary windfall | |
From a well that was going dry | |
Will it drive you nuts till you find the guts | |
To ask yourself the why? | |
Now I'm soaring with my freedom | |
And there's only one way up | |
And the weight is gone that was holding on | |
And never really filled my cup | |
You lost all your ambition | |
And you moved to paradise | |
Did you find a place to hide your face | |
From the ones you cast asunder | |
But it really doesn't matter | |
'Cause you'll never get away | |
From the sound of all that thunder | |
But the outside doesn't matter | |
Inside you've got that hole | |
And the shadows keep on swirling | |
In the darkness of your soul | |
But you don't think that's important | |
'Cause you know that you got your gold | |
And it really doesn't matter | |
That you lost a trusting friend | |
You'll have to live with all of that | |
Until you meet your end. |
