What You Became

Anacrusis


You've grown into this faceless mask and empty shell 
And, like a ghost of your indulgence, you wear them well. 
Still haunting something, by your own hand, lost 
And you shiver with the chilling sense 
You've saved nothing for yourself... 

The lies, the games, 
Devoid of guilt or shame 
Now you resent what you became 
And the reality of only you to blame 

You wander through each desperate hour and numbered day 
And long to hold each wasted moment spent in vain 
Still missing something you've slain so wrecklessly 
And ignored it through shortsightedness 
The thought that someday you might care 

The lies, the games, 
Devoid of guilt or shame 
Now you resent what you became 
And the reality of only you to blame 

Now you resent what you became 
And the reality of only you to blame 

You've grown into this faceless mask and empty shell 
And, like a ghost of indulgence, you wear them well 
Still haunting something, by your own hand, lost 
And you shiver with the chilling sense 
You've saved nothing... 
Nothing for yourself... 

Now you resent what you became 
And the reality of only you to blame
