Fallacies And Fictions lyrics

He lived for himself

Through the years by

And learned to care

But not for others

And when he married

Found love to feel

To be cared for in vows

Still even more dependant

But alas children came

And stole away intention

To favour resentment

For freedom and folly's loss

Once more reminding

To open wounds purelent

Of traits disliked in self

That mocked greatness

So then debt, it must be

And paid by lash of tongue

And heavy hand unjust

That cared little for them

In that world, the violence

That the world earned

Because it owed so dearly

Would fall on just one

The youthful reflection

Of a self cheated so

By no more than being

Earned the scorn beset

Yet in the passing years

When age equates weakness

And fears mortal rain down

To shake that bitter soul

Then the reality fabricated

Frays and is torn asunder

In the forces of frailty

That awaken a spectre

Too late to amend, to lie

For truth finds the hidden

Rose-coloured memories

Melt away unhesitantly

There dementia begiles

In the past are distractions

To avoid the unpleasant now

The present is unegotiating

Much like the past shared

Now recalled and decided

So alone in a world full

Resulting from their acts

To then fade away singular

Mumbling to give comfort

Amid fallacies and fictions

Created to meet the end
