Some More New Lyrics…

Betrayal is nothing new to me, though I am always shocked at the dark depths some people will lower themselves to in order to attain what ever it is they desire.  Whether they are left by ’friend’ or ’colleague’, the scars left by psychological wounds are only visible in my eyes or my lyrics – the latter coming when the pain has all but healed – sometimes many years later.  I am grateful that these experiences have strengthened my character and resolve – the alternative outcome… let’s not go there.

This new song is dedicated to the Master Manipulators I have had the misfortune of knowing – you know who you are.  Whether it matters to those who have inspired these words or not, you did not ever break me – you only inspired my creativity.  Thank you.

Lying all around me
Manipulation
Dishonesty
It’s clear to me now
Tell me how you can sleep at night
You preyed upon me and my capacity for kindness

Lead me not down your darkened path
I will not cross this line
Though you have tried to force me over
Those like you, thankfully, are few
So spin your web of lies
Your words don’t really matter

Play the game of means and ends
Pretend it’s quite alright
Twist the truth as twisted as your soul
Take your alligator smile and crocodile tears
And sell your crazy elsewhere – you’re not welcome here
