A Matter Of Time

Standing in ruins blinded by another meteor
I never even saw it coming down just like all the ones before
The irony of the conveniency of things made up in your head
Inflate, fixate while you suffocate
Every promise that you’ve ever made

The saddest tale I’ll never tell
Will echo through the halls of hell

An eon lost
The countless cost
Need your next victim to malign
It was only just a matter of time

I’ve watched you do unto others
As you’ve imagined they’ve done to you
And your pride has come before the fall
And your downfall is believing all your fantasies are true

I should have heard the warnings
I should have seen the signs
As you did unto them you’d do to me
Your true nature would show eventually
It was just a matter of time

The ring of empty words, a string of dead intentions
Moments strewn across a timeline, you’ve deleted every one
I watched you over years make a career of making enemies
I was so dumb to think you wouldn’t be the one
To turn your weapon against me

This is my last goodbye, my epitaph for you
False pretense of integrity, you believed your lies were true
And this could be the saddest tale I’ll never tell
Evanescently will echo through the halls of hell
