The Black Summer

Tell me now
How can this be?
Where are your morals and decency?
No trust left to save
I’ve had as much as I can take
It’s endless
So senseless
Relentlessness of the same thing
I knew all was not as it would appear to be
The deception is something I cannot stand to see engulfing me

And all the scars left behind to remind me
Of the painful memories haunting me
That I tried to forget for so long
And lost myself along the way
Tried to quell it with the sauce and the excess
But all that it did was make it worse for me
Life’s too short to look for a remedy that never existed or ever will

My blood runs thick
With all the poisons I have done
Distractions fading too quick
With no peace I wasn’t capable of
Feeling Or even Seeing
I couldn’t foresee what you’d do to me
Disgusted by the thoughts but what’s done is done

The black summer
Come to take me again
I’m circling the drain
Nothings what it seems
Was it ever?
Does it even matter?
The black summer
Cannot face it another way
It’s the season of all the debauchery
It’s the season
It’s the season of another way to make it better
Take it down
The black summer
Come to take me again

And all the scars left behind to remind me
Of the painful memories haunting me
That I tried to forget for so long
And lost myself along the way
Tried to quell it with the sauce and the excess
But all that it did was make it worse for me
Life’s too short to look for a remedy that never existed or ever will

My blood runs thick
With all the poisons I have done
Distractions fading too quick
With no peace I wasn’t capable of
Feeling Or even Seeing
I couldn’t foresee what you’d do to me
Disgusted by the thoughts but what’s done
Is done

I need for things to get better now
But they just keep getting worse
So sick of being taken for granted
And every time I saw you it’s the same
That arrogance and the stupidity
No care for dignity
Your names not worth the paper that it’s been written on

I have seen
That Self imposed entitlement once before
What’s more
You’re agendas paper thin I can see right through it

You thought that I was done
But I’d only just begun

I’d only just begun

I’ve accepted the pain I want it
I need it to remind me I’m still real
That I can still feel
Been numbing myself for too long
My visions burring as the colours return
To let me live with what I’ve learned
And the black summer comes to take me again
To replace all the misery
With much more of the poison
The black summer come to take me again
To detach me from all you’ve made
And I’ve had as much as I can take
