The Final Curtain

sentimental views of nothingness
trying to philosophise and justify
every one of your lies
creature comforts, nothing questioned
and the harsh truths befall us all

the battle inside goes on and on
as i try my hardest to maintain
sickness penetrates me deep inside
how can i go on without my
sanity, for all is vanity
and this contemplation is what scares me

visions of the final curtain
and extreme expectations
let me tie the rope
cannot justify all you hold sacred
don't fight it, everything ends

i sit and watch everything being taken away
take it all, take everything so that i can be free
i shall be your fiercest enemy, the man with nothing left to lose
