Take Me Back


Your heart's all full of stones.
Blackened to the core.
I wish I had only known
of your intertwined deception.
Lies you told I thought were true.
Now I see the light,
but it doesn't belong to you.

Take me back
to before I knew you.
Take me back
so I won't have to know.

All is well, or so you said.
You just left out half the truth,
so really in your head
is but a void of doubt.
Nothing more that I can do
that she can't pretend for now,
succumbed by lust in your own despair.

Go ahead, and join the throng
of others just like yourself.
I've learned the truth at last,
but it didn't come from you.
The blue light comes on
to dwell withing my soul
and ease my broken heart.
