Was something that I loved, but it’s killed me inside

It isn’t deep - just pretentious
That something sweet like sugar
Fell into hedonism and temptation
Waywardly - drastically
Cautious now you’ve got me
I’ve led heathens into saints and introduced new vices

That something sweet can be so
intoxicating -
I want to feel this inebriation - sedated and saturated
Numb to everything so
Elated and elevated

So they’ve seemed to disappear, or was I really there?
If it’s all just lights and mirrors, a reminder that everything is fading and I’ll

Elusive - bittersweet illusions that I would chase

come down - instead I fell in love with
The illusions of light and sound -
Fading into the background of it

Devastating and overtaking as a temptation - woah
My tolerance plays against me - yet still I’ve landed
Only a few times lately so -

That something sweet as fruit for you has been forbidden
It isn’t sweet - just deceptive
Were just playing out our parts and acting like we aren’t
If fate’s easily tricked by the devil;
Than persuasion is a gift that’s best taken for granted

And I’ve spent time trying to fix things
This elusive - deceiving illusion that everything’s predetermined

And I’ve spent time trying to fix things
These elusive bittersweet conclusions that I would face

And I’ve spent time trying to fix things
This elusive bittersweet illusion that I would chase

And I’ve spent time trying to fix things
This elusive bittersweet reminder that everything is fading and I will
