All Over a Tease

Didn't intend to be a loner you see
But the loss of all my loved ones drained me
I guess I was destined to be set adrift in the sea
What those that you trust will do to you, almost funny,

Trying to think about things that are a bit more sunny
At times I shake my head and say, "Really?"
All those emotional promises and those pleas
How self destruction can occur all over a tease,

Thought I knew what I was doing with my life
But it seems some madman came out of the closet with a knife
What did he lay on my table? Nothing but strife
Oh God was this what you wished can't you play nice?

The world will turn with or without you
No matter if you are an old brown shoe
No matter if you're imprisoned in a zoo
No matter if your mood is continually blue,

That moment of realization that strikes so hard
Breaks your rose colored glasses into shards
Leaves your dreams deep in the night marred
Forever untrusting always on guard,

Lady Love where are you now?
I made love to you in a dream somehow
Oh the pain of those corrupted vows
More sorrow than we ever could allow,

Oblivion, hopelessness, how to cope?
Through the fog of lies and betrayal we grope
One foul word and I had a mouth full of soap
Oh that precious commodity called hope.
