Good Riddance

Forgotten stories of excess


both real and fiction


Too many hollow lives spent


chasing benediction


We plummet to the earth like


scores of fallen angels


Play out our tragedies on empty


weathered stages





But before we lose it all


The final curatain call


Conflicted and rejected





Beware the opulence inherent confusion


When reality's obsured


by clouds of disillution


Held under far too long by


the weight of our existence


We labor fruitlessly against


both time and distance





But before we lose it all


The final curtain call


Conflicted and dejected





What's in the past can't be undone


You'ce got to seperate to become one


Your indescision hides the guilts


just underneath your clouded eyes





So sick you'd sell your soul


For another fifteen minutes lie
