Archive No.6: Jaded - The Imitations of Art

 

I know the best parts of me are failing you 

Great silences flow like oceans between us two

I dreamed you forged a new life somewhere in the mountains

But every thing that could hurt me remained fastened


I've burdened myself with pleasant fantasies that have unpleasant endings 

It's a gruesome path to recovery, a slow climb to sobriety

It leaves me jaded and forever hated because I can't move past

The things that can't keep up with me anymore


The greatest love I have to give has to be the worst of them all

Now I'm treading carefully, won't take chances anymore

I could've held back then but I didn't know how

Isn't that what honesty demands but at what cost now? 


I've troubled my peace of mind with stories I can't rewrite 

I've fallen for another you who didn't know the whole truth 

It leaves me jaded and forever hated because I can't move past

The things that can't keep up with me anymore


As the weeks go by they get shorter and harder to get through

Every day feels like eternity but every fortnight is a cruise

On the deadly sands of time that shortened yours and immortalized mine 

I imagine our spirits, innocent as forgiveness bolting like we're a crime

It leaves me jaded and forever hated because I can't move past

The things that can't keep up with me anymore.
