Dark Side Poet - Ultimatum lyrics
[Dark Side Poet - Ultimatum lyrics]
I know that I have done
My best through every test
That I've struggled to find the right
Words for every breath
That I've defeated each enemy now the
Energy left in me
Is depleted but you won't let me rest
Old habit's resurface, ride the crest
So again the anger manifest and
Claws in my chest
And to the best of my knowledge
I know I cannot forget
And can't forgive that you're
Better at keeping secrets
You said it so many times: "never again"
And as your best friend I was
With you until the end
I know nothing lasts forever but
I figured the conclusion
To this story would pass through every trend
But I was wrong as I always seem
To be about you and me
So I'm saying goodbye, god knows I've tried
I'll always keep you inside but
I gotta live my life
And a light is already hard to find
And harder with you around so I'll
Keep you in the dark in the back of my mind
Of my soul and my heart
And I'll reminisce of course of
Good times & laughs
But they are outweighed so I'm
Walking a new path, without you
My mama didn't raise no fool but
Maybe made me too nice
I been used by many, believed too many lies
Taken too many people at face value
But never again this is the song to tell you
I've had enough, I'm a man, I'm a human being
See me sail away like Truman leaving
In case I don't see you, good riddance
Now I'm through that door
Bring me that new world to explore
Free from the junkie, free from the liar
From the parasite tryna take the
Fuel from my fire free from the stress & the
Rest like the ginsu
You planted in my chest tryna
Take me down with you
You know your own father can
Barely look at you paranoid and delusional
You let the drugs win
Now I see you on the street
You're begging for change
But won't change yourself so we estranged
Just know that I loved you, man
Like Segel and Rudd
More than you think the god above you does
Nobody was by you more than me through it all
Detoxification, rehabilitation
Phone calls and visitation
If anybody was close to understanding
The struggles that you were
Facing it was me 'cos I was struggling too
Every time you said it was your last
I believed in you i played the fool
And then you hit the meth
I gave you an Ultimatum it was "me or the
Chemicals corroding your flesh"
You chose me or at least that's what you said
But every once and a while whenever
I saw you I saw death
So I will thank you for the few
Happy memories I can recall in
Which you were sober but I will
Never trust in you again
I will never cover for you
I will never suffer for you
'Cos we are not friends
My best through every test
That I've struggled to find the right
Words for every breath
That I've defeated each enemy now the
Energy left in me
Is depleted but you won't let me rest
Old habit's resurface, ride the crest
So again the anger manifest and
Claws in my chest
And to the best of my knowledge
I know I cannot forget
And can't forgive that you're
Better at keeping secrets

And as your best friend I was
