Dreams built on delusions
Much pain and much despair
Endless false conclusions
I'm a man who leans on air
They spoke of optimism
They said it's what I lack
Caved to their criticism
And it stabbed me in the back
A staircase to the sky
Got halfway, now in the dirt
And I'll not tell a lie
I'll not say it didn't hurt
And to paranoia I fell
Distrust and suspicion
Thoughts too dark to tell
Mind subject to attrition
But I arose and tried once more
And I fell back down again
This time I won't get up
Now I'll just let it win
