The Bed That You Made
How can you be so weak?
Why do you always follow?
Once so strong and proud
And now so frail and hollow
Why can't you just stand up?
Instead of sinking in this hole
You've surrendered all your strength
And you let it take your soul
Now just close your eyes and pray
And pretend a god will save you
You still try to justify
While your addiction slowly slays you
Illusions front as truth
As deceptions overtake
Your life becomes a lie
A joke
A fraud
A fake
When suddenly your love is gone
And hope has long been lost
You'll see your life, your pride, your trust
Is what your weakness cost
And still you grin your phony grin
While inside you rot and cry
But you know the bed you made is yours
And in it you must lie
Why do you always follow?
Once so strong and proud
And now so frail and hollow
Why can't you just stand up?
Instead of sinking in this hole
You've surrendered all your strength
And you let it take your soul
Now just close your eyes and pray
And pretend a god will save you
You still try to justify
While your addiction slowly slays you
Illusions front as truth
As deceptions overtake
Your life becomes a lie
A joke
A fraud
A fake
When suddenly your love is gone
And hope has long been lost
You'll see your life, your pride, your trust
Is what your weakness cost
And still you grin your phony grin
While inside you rot and cry
But you know the bed you made is yours
And in it you must lie
