Tried and true, the whole world isn't expected to tell the truth.
I never expected anyone to be sincere with me.

I've never had the time to talk about the darkness that was conquered,
instead I'd rather talk about whatever darkness was left.

   Caring little for whoever cares less of what I am to express.
I never expected anyone to listen to what I had to say.

Don't waste my time. Can't anyone see I'm busy dying alone?
Instead the see someone they think would rather live.

   Tired and wasted away, I thought I could only see you.
   Old bones and in pain I realize suffer more than I had thought.

   I've released what I thought was proper, the intentions I thought were true.
   I thought that I had conquered the word when in fact I hadn't even
   conquered myself.

   Tried and true, everyone thinks this boy always tells the truth.
I never expected to lie, except to myself.
