You had the chance to mess it all up again. And I saw you take it without much hesitation. And all those dreams you swore you would do anything to see. Now I see you were faking. These are things we do to get where we’re headed to and the casualties are part of the process. Maybe I lied too, but at least I wanted to believe it. For countless days I lived based on faith in smoke signs and appropriate steps to take. And it’s crazy to say but there are days that I dearly miss that which never existed and these are the things we do to get where we’re headed to and the casualties are part of the process. Maybe I lied too, but at least I wanted to believe it.
I don’t mind the solo kind if it means I don’t owe you any of my time. If I opened any blind eyes. If I convinced any dying minds it was just something I did. And the casualties were a part of it. I know I lied to you, but I really did want to believe every single word that I said. It was just something that I did.
