Medals of Misconception

A songfic to a song that doesn't exist?

By Banana Rum: Kalliel

You look at your honors and medals of misconception,

trophies and prizes of self-delusion.

Why? Why do you hide

behind such open doors of frail excuses?

You lies are greater than

the things I ever dreamed of.

You can't say how you live

how you feel

how you gained these silk cloths of victory—

That's all these ever will be:

medals of misconception.

You try to believe that somehow

these events were placed into the calendar of time.

And you mix wishes with honor

and try to add it to yourself.

But it won't ever mix—now don't you see?

All you will ever be is a medal of misconception.

Why can't you see

that amidst this vale of eternal tear-shed

there's a greater prize than feigned heroics?

But instead you hide inside your plastic chalice

watching people marvel at your stolen skill.

But you know it's all a façade

A medal of misconception.

Or have you forgotten in all your lies

Are they now truths in your view of jaded history?

Have you erased the line

between your falsities, your whims, your purpose

and true reality?

Even so you can't change the facts

you're living in a fantasy

Your halls, your stories,

your medals of misconception.
