Miss-Tress: Concubine Chronicles 4

In Conclusion: Separation

It started with passion.

It was exciting.

It was new.

You were charming,

You were manly,

You could light up a room.

The first time I saw you,

In that moment I knew

There was nobody else for me.

It had to be you.

And you,

Seemed like you 

Were drawn to me instantly too.

We were good together.

It was easy.

Almost effortless.
It was natural.

No science,

No rational.

That's just how it went.

We'd go with the flow

And we felt how we felt.

Only trouble was

You weren't free

And I have to admit, 
You were never for me.

So I should have let it be

But I didn't take heed.

And that's the story;

The rest is history

So right now I gotta say baby,

This really isn't working for me

Anymore

'Cause it's just too messy.

Don't think I'm pointing fingers

I won't treat you unfairly

The blame weighs on both you and me equally. 

But right now you need to be with your family

And I need to gain perspective and clarity.

So I guess what I'm saying in all honesty,
Is...

I think this is the end of the line

For you and me.

20/20 (On the Outside)

 

So now you find yourself alone.

Now you know what it's like

To sit by the phone

Until the break of dawn

Hoping that someone, anyone, will call.

Now you find yourself out on a road

And not the faintest sign of return

While the final bridge leading back home

Crumbles to ashes as it burns.

But you did it to yourself.

You can't blame anyone else.

Turned your back on all of your friends

And everyone who cares;

You cut all ties with no goodbyes.

Yeah, you did it to yourself.

It's a lonely path, the one you chose;

A page torn from some dark and tragic prose.

You know the story didn't have to go like this.

I'm sure it's not the fate you would've wished...

But you did it to yourself.

You forced your loved ones out

So you could live inside a fence

And it could all have been so different.

When you think of how wrong everything went, 

Remember how much you once meant

To all the people that you met 

And know you did it to yourself.

Even now it's not too late 

To turn a new leaf
And start over on a clean slate.

If there was one thing I wish you knew,

It's that we want the best for you.

But if you decide to shut that door,

Then you really can be sure

We did all we could and more.

And you'll be condemned to endure

The bitter emptiness that's left;

As you sift through the cards you're dealt,

You'll have to face the fact that you...

Did it to yourself.

The happiness you lost

Was the inevitable cost

Of letting ego steer your course.

When you cut folks down without remorse,

You find the higher you climb in your ascent,

The quieter the world around you gets.

Don't expect a miracle 

When you reach the pinnacle

Of your success;

Don't think we're gone 

'Cause we're jealous.

We're happy for you

This much is true

But you've left no room for anyone else.

This isolation is the gift

That you gave to yourself.

In the Air

When the hunting wolf

Through the forest wanders,

Beware.

Oh beware.

In her eyes there springs a yellow light-

Her prey is near.
Beware

Your scent is in the air.

It's in the air tonight

In the air.

See it prowling, feel it coming

And you better have a care.

It's in the air tonight, 

In the air, 

An element of fear

And you are gonna have to fight.

You linger still in lonely places

Blissfully oblivious to where you are.

But she's been following your traces.

You're on her radar

And she's not that far

Can't you hear her voice now on the wind?

So you better run!

Run while you can

'Cause she's closing in

And you can't win 

She won't stop til she makes the kill.

You better run

While you can!

You'll feel a shiver 

When you see the glimmer
Of her pearly whites.
Before she takes that first sharp bite,

You'll know the stories they were right-

There is danger in the night. 

Then there'll be blood

In the air.

A primal, elemental fear

As you feel the end draw near.

It's in the air tonight,

In the air.

There'll be no one to hear you scream 

Or to wake you from this dream.

If you happen to catch sight of her in the shadows,

Keep your distance

She is vicious.

Take it from someone who knows.

NWO

 

Something's coming,

Can you feel it?

Something's coming 

And you can't escape it.

Something's coming

So get ready.

You either fight it

Or you embrace it.

Let go of what you knew before,

All those old things, they are no more.

The latter will replace the former

Best get ready

It's a new world order.

So whatcha gon' do?

Which side will you choose?

Cause either way you lose- 

Resistance brings its own dark cloud;

You sell your soul if you bow down.

But no matter what they say,

This street only runs two ways:

You either rise or else you fall

And this time you can't have it all.

Pay the Piper

I tried my best,

Gave all I could

And then some.

I pushed the upper limit

And I jumped the gun.

Now the musicians

Have taken up their instruments;

The band's about to play.

The fat lady's in position;

The piper's calling for his pay.

I scan the room in a heartbeat

Looking for a dark corner,

An obscure place to hide

But there's nowhere to go

Though I search far and wide.

So now it comes down to it,

I stand erect, poised and alert

Yet fragile like a china doll,

Shuddering, I close my eyes 

And wait for the hammerfall.

Surrendering

It's not about the battle,

It's about the victory. 

It's not the destination,

It's about what you gain from the journey.

It's not about the money,

It's about the value of your soul;

It's not the diploma

It's about the experiences that help you grow.

It's not about the struggles,

It's the rewards they bring.

It's not about all the noise they make,

It's about the message in the words they sing.

It's not about the things you hear

From the voices that whisper in your ear,

It's about the truth taking root like a plant

Sprouting from the seed God sowed deep in your heart.

It's not about the circumstances,

Pay no attention to the things you see.

It's not about where you are today,

What matters is who you choose to be.
