Big Fire - Owls in the Attic

Meaningless, is everything that I once had

My hopes are dashed, and I’m alone

How am I always the last to know?

The taste of fear becomes the sting of betrayal

Everything I had built up in my mind is sinking in the sand

My hopes are dashed, I’m alone

How am I always the last to know?

I can’t believe that I am saying this again

You’ve cut me out at every single turn

I don’t appreciate being left out of this

I’ve said it again and again

You’ve been told repeatedly

The curtain falls, you are exposed

You have revealed yourself

For what you truly are

You’re afraid of sharing your faults

When I accept your everything

I would accept everything you are

Your happiness means nothing

When all bottled up, kept to yourself

Accepting everything you really are

If you don’t run from the truth

Will I go insane

In this life that I live

With a heart to forgive

Expecting a new result

While living selfishly

With the same old faults

I am a patient man

With a heart that can’t help

But forgive you one last time

I let it slide right through my hands
