Atrophy of the Mind

Treachery, far beyond belief

Damage done, no regard for anyone

In your mind, you were far above

Looking down at the friends you had around

From the start, your entanglements

Dug you in a hole you could not comprehend

A result of your selfish ways

So inept, lies and secrets that you kept

Atrophy of the mind

Atrophy of the mind

Atrophy of the mind

Atrophy of the mind

Dark descent, greed and arrogance

Your allegiance to nobody but yourself

Set in stone, overconfidence

Boastful talk, despite blind incompetence

Your decisions brought you to your knees

Tossed aside all your friends and family

Still you smile, a character you play

Twisting truth, victim cards that rot your youth

Look in the mirror, into your own eyes

Tell me do they, tell the same lies?

Behind the facade, lays relentless guilt

An altar of shame is all that you've built

You try to climb, to where you once stood

Didn't you know, you had it so good?

Well look at you now, look deep in the mirror

Your failure has never appeared so much clearer
