Recluse
fragmented remnants of a broken heart
all that remains from what’s been torn apart
my trust, my hope, my all
the ignominious fall
the fall from warmth, the fall from love
the boy you betrayed
the man that you made
a man acutely aware
of this carnal nightmare
this nightmare known better as life
[chorus]
so goodbye to this battlefield called love
i’m tired of exposing these veneers
all the pain, and all the false promises
i’m finding comfort in my reclusion
my reclusion, the art of seclusion
far better than a false love’s delusion
yet i can’t fight the desire
but must quench the fire
and spurn the romanticized ideals
what’s the difference in winning and losing?
just in playing, the loser’s aren’t choosing
so save yourself now
lucidness is how
discourse slays the visceral lure
[chorus]
so goodbye to this battlefield called love
i’m tired of exposing these veneers
all the pain, and all the false promises
i’m finding comfort in my reclusion
