The failure epiphany

let me be your savior
to guide you from the depths
that reach up with a pull so strong
too intense to resist

let me be your confidante
to lead you not astray
the crooking winding paths go far
guiding you away

i am a lover
i am a friend
i mean well
and i understand

i'm a fighter for your heart
i never want to be apart

let me be your everything
let me break you from these chains
that bind you down without a cause
that curse your life with grief and pain

let me be your helping hand
i'll reach far as i can
to pick you up when you're fallen down
to lean against so you can stand

i'm a fighter for your heart
i never want to be apart

a monster in disguise
where ugliness evades
a martyr with no cross
a killer with no blade

you, deceiver
you, destroyer
of everything that's beautiful
you, denier
you, a liar
you're everything so horrible
