Quarter Deck

I can't deny I saw it coming, with my own two eyes
I've learnt to second guess, because it's not the first time
I had to double take, rub my eyes just to make sure I'm awake
That'll teach me to care at all
So set the record straight
You be you, and i'll be irate
Being let down is now a frequency
No sign of shame or self reflection
I can't continue to give a fuck
You have not learnt from your most ancient mistakes
Facing a catastrophic repeat of fate
Set up burn yourself, we the audience sit back
We don't repeat ourselves
You don't make up for what you lack
You don't redeem your bitter act
I can't deny I saw it coming, with my own two eyes
I've learnt to second guess, because it's not the last time
I had to double take, rub my eyes just to make sure I'm awake
That'll teach me to care at all
So set the record straight
You be you, and i'll be irate
Being let down is now a frequency
No sign of shame or self reflection
I can't continue to give a fuck
Time spent in vain is time never to be
Another drop in the ocean, another ship wreck I see
Catch up catch up, forever chasing your tail, So much promise only set up to fail
Search for hope, I know there's nothing to find
Just another case of leading to the blind
Search for perfection, but you're too far off course
Nothing left now, only doubt, and remorse
I've discarded, all that lit the path
That led to this grim aftermath
Smoke and mirrors cannot hide this disgrace
I'm ready to forget your face
A stranger takes your place
