I've seen brighter days In times like these A warning comes as it may I, deceiver Disrupt the sleep of the sovereign I, betrayer Singing an ode to the long-lost forgotten Open the gates to the damned Mediocrity overflowing A flood of stagnant routine Course-corrected by the clutches of time I'm an island Being unique is not a disease I'm an island Did I go too far? A plea for an average existence Defined by the foretold It's just a wake up call I only bow down to ideals that keep me hanging on I'm done wasting my time I won't delete and rewind I embrace the gallows you assigned This is the legacy of a broken man The merits of someone who never had Something good enough to write home about My dearest friend No one likes a discorageous war In our home away from home Did you honestly believe That I would just walk away? You know uncertainty is what makes me feel alive
