Device

Who was the one that stood beside you through the war of your life
Who stood defiant in the face of your enemy
Who was the one you could confide in when your adversaries made you run and hide
There’s no messiah out there waiting to deliver you now
You’ve lost the war and have surrendered your sanity
What was before has now been scattered from the heavy devastation left behind
PRE:
You made it happen again
Threw your cover away
Built battlements to stand for all time
CH:
You’ve waged your war of lies
Discarded your disguise
I was the one you said could never be a part of your life
I was the one who had a moment of clarity
Only a son, could stay devoted to a fabricator living their own lies
The ones who loved you can no longer be a part of you now
You’re very deft at trying to garner their sympathy
But your reflection will reveal the shadowed image of the criminal inside
