I’m Done

One song calls to me
Again and again and again
Whispering my name
Clawing my dreams
Seducing me back into a nightmare
I’ve lost myself once

No more lies to myself
No more tries
No more words of compassion
I’m done

An echo of years dwells still in my ears
A whisper from the past
Again telling the stories
Of empty melodies, impure symphonies
All the deceitful oaths of dark heart

No more lies
No more tries
No more promises
The world of lie never changes

I wish I could forget, erase the memory
And rewrite it anew
But it’s impossible unfortunately
I won’t be a fool
Not again

So I will fight for another flight
Higher than my hopes could ever rise
I will rise from ashes I was burnt once

No more lies
No more tries
No more second chances to those
Who never deserved even the first one
I’m done
