Follower or Leader?

And for maybe a second,
these tired eyes could know rest...
limit setting,
finally puting you to the test

I don't want to be you
left bound upon the floor,
because you aren't anything
that someone hasn't been before

Stop the words from forming,
they were only there
to build you higher
but now they tear you down
with an effigy labeled "liar".

I don't want to be you
left bound upon the floor,
because you aren't anything
that someone hasn't been before

Caught yourself in your own
spindled web
left dancing on the shattered memories
burning in your head.

So leave me out of your petty life
there's nothing there,
it's ruined and dead
Only the monster you created
that growing monster
you perpetually fed.

I don't want to be you
left bound upon the floor,
because you aren't anything
that someone hasn't been before
