I strapped running shoes to my ego,
And gave wings to all my fears.
I ignited my insanity
With gasoline and tears.

I drew the curtain of illusion,
And tightened up the blindfold.
I sent reality through the shredder
And left faith out in the cold.

I kicked trust out to the curb,
And threw my love away.
Now I’m all alone,
Wondering why you didn’t stay.
