Standard Wisdom

Baby faced liar.
The one I admired.
You were my god,
But now you are fired.
Doing something we thought you above.
Hurting the people you said that you loved.

You choked on the pills that made you feel safe
You choked on your pseudo-poise and grace
Where are you now? Oh, where?
Where are you now?

Over the weeks,
You roam the streets
With thoughts resembling
“Why did I cheat?”
Missing her sheets and the feel of her skin
Playing a game no one can win.

You choked on the pills that made you feel safe
You choked on your pseudo-poise and grace
Where are you now? Oh, where?
Where are you now?
An actor, yet I’m not overdramatic
I’m just another hopeless romantic
But, is it love or poison?
(Love or poison?)

Let loose in a city with a desire to kill
Nothing worth saving; fire at will.

You choked on the pills that made you feel safe
You choked on your pseudo-poise and grace
Where are you now? Oh, where?
Where are you now?
You failed to go on without the prescription
You died alone from this infliction
Where did you go? Oh, where?
Where did you go?

Knowing everything, you knew nothing.
And that was your downfall.
