Betrayal
I thought I understood betrayal;
deceit;
hypocrisy;
abandonment;
withdrawal;
fraud;
let-down.
Then I grew up.
Life betrayed me that day.
Life stopped going the way I always imagined it would. It's life's fault I feel this way, not mine.
Life took away my love.
Life took away my home.
Life took away my security.
Life took away my clarity.
Life took away my god.
How can I possibly trust again?
Men deceive,
business is fraudulent,
home abandons,
friends let down,
meds withdraw,
and religion is a hypocrite.
Life betrayed me.
How dare Life not Live up to my grandiose, pies-in-the-sky, rainbows-and-unicorns expectations? Pies make a mess when they fall from so high in the sky.
Betrayal has left me bitter and begging for a breath of blissfulness in which my brain can bathe.
I did this to myself. Does that mean I can fix it?
"Drowning" by Mateus Lucena
"Time Is All Around" by Regina Spektor
This is one of my favorite Regina Spektor songs. The remarkable visuals in the chorus are by far my favorite part. Lyrics provided below.
"Time Is All Around" - Regina Spektor
You step on all my parts
And then you walk right out the door
And I know that your love ain't never
Coming back no more
Time is all around
Except inside my clock
Everybody's waiting for their lover to unlock
Leaves become most beautiful when they're about to die
When they're about to fall from trees
When they're about to dry up
Time is all around
Time is all around
I hallucinate a cat between my feet
I'm stepping lightly so as not to hurt it
Everybody wants
To say that you have changed
Of course you've changed, you've changed, you've changed
Your mind's been rearrange
But leaves become most beautiful when they're about to die
When they're about to fall from trees
When they're about to dry up
Leaves become most beautiful when they're about to die
When they're about to fall from trees
When they're about to dry up
Why am I supposed to love if I don't want to love?
Why am I supposed to, I'm so tired
Why am I supposed to love if I don't want to?
I don't want
I don't want to
I don't want
Leaves become most beautiful when they're about to die
When they're about to fall from trees
When they're about to dry up
Leaves become most beautiful when they're about to die
When they're about to fall from trees
When they're about to dry up
