Delusions of Grandeur

Sacrifice your delusions of grandeur
You'll just throw us back into that void
Your imagination is deadly
With the lengths you'll go to create
Your fantasies in real life
Ignoring the lies and the signs
The worried friends and family behind you
It just drove you deeper in his hold
Shutting out every sign of light
To keep you in your safe dream
Until they wrenched you away
Leaving you broken and wounded inside
Nursing withdrawal for months

Slowly we recover again
Yet as soon as a sign is perceived
You run frantically to put together pieces
Anything to make you feel special
But they'll all think you're crazy again
Why can't you just stay in the slumber
Buried deep and far within my soul
No matter how many times you're pushed down
You resurface again to fight me
It's a constant cycle over years
The self berating and control
And I get my hopes up again
Can't you just shut up your delusions of grandeur?
