Last Exit Before Crazyville

A rollercoaster is less thrilling
than the ups and downs of our feelings.
A second, or third chance was all I've got,
but with you...

You are exceptional.

You're my mother, my brother,
my lover, my friend.
My multi-colored morning sun.
My answer-to-all Coke and rum.

For every criticism you gave,
in return I showered you with warmth and kindness;
and every condescending tone in which you spoke,
was met with infinite tolerance and open-mindedness.

With every shred of my dignity,
I gave away all that I hold dear,
because of that speck of imperceptible hope,
that one day you will see clear.

But the price I pay for this make-believe martyrdom!

To give myself away until nothing's left.
To betray my mind and my values kept.

Because I am exceptional.

You are my future, my past,
my first, my last.
You are my glory, my shame,
my reality, my fate.

My life surrounds you.
I am who you are.
And with my last attempt for sanity,
I must push you out and leave you far.

You have consumed my truth.
I must recover from this hurt.
End this Parasitic Love Affair.
Our lies buried deep beneath the dirt.

Because without you, I am stronger.
Without you, I fight better.
Without you, I smile wider.
Without you, I go further.

At this last step before Judgment,
I have nothing to lose, and all to gain.
You will no longer ignite my fears,
nor instigate a thousand tears.

All hope is lost,
of ever saving you from your endless sorrows.
I will no longer make this meaningless sacrifice.
the same I hope you will one day realize.

Because babe, it's every man for himself now.
