Burning the Bridges to Nowhere

This is my chance to distance myself from fiction
 Our synthetic life was censored, contrived,
 No point of reference
 This used to mean something
 I used to feel something
 Keep your pity I don't need it
 Wish I could blame this all on you
 Sometimes I look around
 And can't accept this is it now
 It might've never been real
 But at least I got to pretend for a while
 My life has become stranger than fiction
 The darkness comes and goes
 But it'll never take me
 Misread the signs
 The road to our fall is paved in lies
 I watched my heaven turn to ash
 As those I trusted looked away
 Now you're a ghost to me
 A delusional lie
 A fantasy
 The infection
 Has poisoned our focus
 For too long
 In search of anything
 That we can know is real
 There's no where to run this time
 I need to know you see this
 Tell me there's beauty but I can't feel it now
 Some day today
 Will fade in to the darkest corners of my memory
 If I could go back
 I'd grit my teeth
 And still go through with this
 I need to know you see this
 Tell me there's beauty but I can't feel it
 I can't accept that this is it now
 The darkness comes and goes
 But it'll never take me
 Burning the bridges to nowhere
