Twisted Truth

I can’t I can’t I can’t
No matter what I do
I can’t I can’t I can’t
I know I’m gonna lose
I can’t I can’t I can’t
I’ll never see it through
I can’t I can’t I can’t
I can’t

I’m giving what I got
But I know it ain’t enough
I’m reaching for the top
But the game has called my bluff
You can witness as I drop
And land with thuds in clouds of dust
I thought that love was what this was
Yeah you guessed it, it was lust

Put my heart aside and let desire lead the drive
My destination is a life that I comprised of compromise
I severed ties that held me up, so now I dangle from life lines
I’m dreaming of white lines
And fiending for my slice

No friends, I miss connections
All relationships have ended
I bended my reality now my fallacy cemented
I prayed and I repented, all the lies that I invented
But too late for me to rise, and broken promises to be mended

I can’t I can’t I can’t
No matter what I do
I can’t I can’t I can’t
I know I’m gonna lose
I can’t I can’t I can’t
I’ll never see it through
I can’t I can’t I can’t
I can’t

My word once held some weight
I used to mean the things I say
Before I knew that you believed me
So I forged a little game
I took your trust and made it break
And you let me get away with it
But that left us lost in a place
I doubt we ever could escape

I dug a grave for us to rot in
I know I’m sorry doesn’t cut it
It doesn’t matter how it’s worded
My apology is rubbish
Check the trouble that we’re dealing with, take that cigarette and stub it on my arm,
like I did that to your heart

Weak voice and weak words
Their meek worth, I speak dirt
You bleed, hurt and seem worse now cause I put me first
Before we met you seemed perky, free and full of life
But since our meeting you’ve decreased the frequency you gleam a smile
I should have told you don’t come near in fact you need to flee for miles
But my selfish needs
brought us to knees,
we beg and plead
for our release

It should have never come to this
Don’t wanna put this gun to grip
But trust me when I thunder it
Your life will finally become...bliss
Become...bliss
trust...this
Thats tough to do,
ain’t that some...shit

I can’t I can’t I can’t
No matter what I do
I can’t I can’t I can’t
I know I’m gonna lose
I can’t I can’t I can’t
I’ll never see it through
I can’t I can’t I can’t
I can’t

Every lie, every minor deception, every truth has been twisted into something false.
I took you for a fool, so now I fall
I’m paying for it all
