Jovial Destruction

I'm sick of our old selves
I've shed this skin
Outgrown, like you.

Peeled the layers back
in order to investigate
all the discrepencies

Slide back into the past
and re-live yourself
glory days don't last

Soon the world will evolve
And all the people in it
will wonder how....

All of the chances
and all of your choices
led you in circles

Will you confess?
To your denouncement
of morality?

To the blindness
inflicted on yourself
willingly, happily

Blissfully unawares
of anyone besides yourselves
and the damage done

Play the games
and laugh the hardest
no one will ever know

Just how far and deep
your mental and emotional
deficiences go.

I know all about
what is hidden behind
your smiles and joy

Your sicknesses will claim more
than just my friendship
or devotion

It will burn the sparkle
out of your eyes
and out of your lives
