Fool’s Gold

The choice is always bigger when put into retrospect - as well as the pain of regret
Double standard now defines my life
Stripped down and abandoned
Every afterthought was just a feeble attempt to justify why I never tried
Why did I never try?
You may delay, but time will not
So step aside
Make way for the righteous, or give it up and help us

And now I'm running in place, masked by this shame and disgrace
Every afterthought was just a feeble attempt to justify why I never tried

I have been stripped down
I have been abandoned
This is your final call - will you ever wake up?
