Sacred lies are running free
Cheap thrills next to nil,
Death cries sounding shrill.

Hand me a pill-
A forget-me-not,
A different script, with a better plot,
Anything's preferred to what I've got.

Foolish to hope for something more,
You're top shelf, I'm just the floor,
You step on-
Wipe your muddy tracks upon,

It was always leading to this,
Never to a kiss, let's dismiss,
The absurd notion
Of some love potion-

You were never mine to grasp.
An extraordinary lapse
In judgement, running rampant,
I was present, you were absent.

The suspense is killing me
Sacred lies are running free
Cheap thrills next to nil,
Death cries sounding shrill.

Hand me a pill-
A forget-me-not,
A different script, with a better plot,
Anything's preferred to what I've got.

Foolish to hope for something more,
You're top shelf, I'm just the floor,
You step on-
Wipe your muddy tracks upon,

It was always leading to this,
Never to a kiss, let's dismiss,
The absurd notion
Of some love potion-

You were never mine to grasp.
An extraordinary lapse
In judgement, running rampant,
I was present, you were absent.
