Did You Believe Me When I Said...


Shut the doors and whisper the secrets,

Increment the lies and clean the bullets,

That's what you were good at,

That's the picture of yourself you painted.

Did you believe me when i said 

You',d be a much better man if you were good?

 

Let us take the time to pray,

And begin  to slay the demons,

As we fall back into clay.

And yet I still ask,

Did you believe me when i said,

I will always remember who you were

Before the darkness took over.
