"Nothing's
ever new to you. You spend the day jaded, spend the night faded, all
while dreaming of what the right man would do to you. In the meantime,
you continue selling dreams, buying favors, and bartering your essence
for money and glasses of over-priced effervescence. Nothing's ever new
to you. How is anyone supposed to get through to you when you only let
your guard down when the risk is greater
than the reward? Russian Roulette is not a game for the heart, but if
pain makes you feel better, and neglect makes you feel important, logic
was a non-factor from the start. Your values are warped...you don't even
understand yourself. Anything other than confusion would be an
intrusion into your mental maelstrom though. That's why I'm letting this
go. You're not even completely honest with yourself, so why would I be
true to you? Just another good guy leaving you alone. Nothing's ever new
to you. That's the problem; waiting on someone new while you still have
the same old mindset."
