Take my advice There's no way to go back Leave regrets You need to face the facts Make a plan Silence is a tool All demands All the ridicule You think I'm being circumspect But really it's about respect Control has always been your aim No matter how much grief & pain Face the facts There's nothing here to gain Illusion skipped So empty all the same Salvaging? It isn't worth my time Hollow words The numbers cease to rhyme The lights are off, there's no one here The bitter end's already near In the end I shut you out No matter how you scream & shout
