Desperate Times (Desperate Measures)

again fast written, i got halfway through it and hit a block, it may be edited soon

The rain pours outside,

Flowing down the window

Disguising my eyes to those looking in on my life

I have to smile, I need to be happy

The critic’s words are getting too much for me

The crowds thin out

I’m alone again

I’m looking out

Feels like I’m looking in

The emptiness that surrounds me

I hadn’t noticed for so long

 

All the lies are falling down

I’m being pulled back to the start

 

Desperate times call for desperate measures

Brand new lies, ignore the consequences  

It’s all in my mind of that I’m sure

Because it follows me wherever I go

 

Same old promises meant to be broken

Polished off and presented as gold

Just build me up, back to the top

Watch me fall back down again

 

Oh, how many times can I repeat the same lies?

How many times before she really means goodbye?

The tears pouring down are yours to blame

You try to climb to the top

But destroy the bottom

I’m looking in from the outside

How many times will I come back?

I'm looking out from the inside

Why do I keep coming back?

 

All the lies are falling down

I’m being pulled back to the start

 

Desperate times call for desperate measures

Brand new lies, ignore the consequences  

It’s all in my mind of that I’m sure

Because it follows me wherever I go

 

Same old promises meant to be broken

Polished off and presented as gold

Just build me up, back to the top

Watch me fall back down again

 

I got brand new lines and there the truths

Stay away I'll bring you down

Rising back to the top

Starting slowly at the bottom
