dwell with ghosts too long, and your mind may fray

You can't benefit from mistakes you haven't made
nothing would be learned if we all obeyed
Too bad some of the lessons are so damn rough!!
Sometimes we lick our wounds, and the message we rebuff

Stuck in a daydream; another time and place
wishing I could revert to before I was a disgrace

Now let's take it back to the start
where love and happiness depart
"Happy Anniversary!" he says---another slap in the face
I hate what you're not! You're such a disgrace

A perfect paradox---or don't you see?
Is how this delusional rhyme came to be...

This love left long ago, but why didn't YOU?
How many loveless years? It's been a few...
I'm gonna wake up this anger that's seething inside
confront my resentment I've been striving to hide

Not listening to another lie you try to say
my spirit still kicks...I'll have to die another day.
