Clear As Day

The wretched goblet slices like the swing of tampered blades
Everything lost for nothing, yet the problems still remain
My heart said not to trust you and my gut agreed with it
And then I went and caught up on the gossip with the spirits

The pressure makes it hard to breathe, the vial makes it harder
You wish to rid the stain in hopes they'll see you as a martyr
You think you'll leave the pain if you receive an early exit
But I hope you know that once wе go somebody else will wrеck it

Loved in life until a mere few hours til the end
Unaware just what awaited, whatever would be next
If when we wake there's pearly gates will you get past the check
Or will it be pain or a nothing again where your body is gone but your conscious remains

Life is a dream but not all dreams are good
So an endless sleep may be the worst of all
We can never truly know if we never truly go
So inevitable yet so scared to fall
You know what you did to deserve this phase
From an early wed to an early grave
From the brother's wife to the exact same place
That you sent him mere months prior yet it feels like just one day
And you know I know that I know the truth
You wish for a larger plate but don't even know how to chew
The biggest faults of yours were all your secrets, that I knew
The biggest fault of mine was inability to do
Inability to act beyond acting a facade
I confide within two souls and the souls are split in half
I could never trust my mind, I could never trust my brain
Yet when I did what needed done, everything turned clear as day
