Just Words
These words are just words
And all action has ceased
These dreams are just dreams
Spit upon and laughed at
Tomorrow comes and goes
In the disguise of today
And peiced together are the threads
From the days gone by
To bring about the present
But, the craftsmanship is shoddy
So, the moment falls apart
And my world seems to unravel
Before my very eyes
Now, I'm holding on to nothing
Because there's nothing left to hold
What was, has departed
And what will be, has yet to come
So, I lay my head down
Next to the shadow, on my pillow
There is nothing left to lose
It seems I've lost it all
I gave you everything I had
Thought you'd catch me, when I fell
I believed what you said
Believed each and every word
But, words are just words
And smoke and mirrors, is all you are
