When you rely on hollow promises
How long will she be your mistress?
The illusion becomes way too powerful
She's the Matador and you're her bull,

Don't know why I think about it anymore
Too many people rotten to the core
I used to think that perception was at my door
Yet I was betrayed by all whom I adored,

It seems almost tragically funny now
Guess that's why I lost my faith somehow
She can scorn you without raising an eyebrow
Go ahead champ just take another bow,

Always thought there was destiny and grace
Seems she left me Hemlock in her lace
Wishing I could disappear without a trace
Perhaps an unrealistic way to save face,

Seems some day they'll all dance on my grave
When no one else deserves to be saved
If you seek love seems that you're depraved
Like the hero we all honored until he caved,

You begin to wonder if life is just a joke
When all your dreams go up in smoke
The life you lived became forgotten and broke
With all those revelations you should have awoke,

When you realize that you're just a grain of sand
That luck will not always play into your hand
You have to earn your way to the promised land
And have the courage to make your final stand.
