Demetrius -

O' it was fool’s gold!

As I approached, distilled—swimming in dither

Had I gone astray?

Was it from longing for the crest I’d obtained?

I wouldn’t feel the chains

I was lost again

The bridge from here to you was burned

And I was stuck in between two cliffs

-One behind and one in front

I sank down until a hold from up above

I felt a pressing weight from my new crown

But I could never ever take it off

I was trapped under all the nonsense upon my height

How there was no fortune after all!

Just a boa constricting and pressing in

I’ve tried my hardest to fight against her revolt

But she had stonewalled

O' she’s the prospect I’d never hold!

And a reflection from the out

Distracting from the realm within me

I knew not friend nor foe

For everything I saw was filmed in wrong

I was dreaming

Ladada-ladada-ladadum

I was dreaming

Ladada-ladadaaa!

When I awoke, the world I knew had been retired

It dropped down

I dropped again!

And I regret pursuing the foul beast

For I had let arrogance contort my perspective

I’m in ire!

And what a waste to think I had it perfect!

No, what did I have?

What did I have?

Nothing!

I am sincere when I say

That I wish that I never went back to the sea

-Deeper, the pit of my failures

In my eyes, you’re a clockwork soot-bat

Rearranged by perception

Do you feel it, or do you just want to leave me?

Well, aren’t I just the black-sheep jackal

Kicked from salvation’s den!

How do I know you don’t trust me?

Because you tricked me

Is to trust not to put all faith into someone you don’t know?

Well, I don’t know you

At least I don’t anymore
