Fiction - Red Lights and Right Turns

I wish that everything was fine so I wouldn't have to write about how wrong it is
This song it is the only way to get across that I have a side of the story too
And I don't really care if you doubt that it's true
So I'll lay it down upon this ground and leave the rally up to you
I'll start out slow and slowly grow until these damn emotions show
That even though the lies and fiction
Brought us to an end
The ego you called "confidence" has always been the cause of this
I didn't want the things you taught and now I lost another friend
Through the years of desperation and in the prime of a breath
I saw a boy become a man
And that same man have nothing left
A dream gone false in halftime
I know that every single time that you write another line
You'll have my name on it
That's why I quit
Not good at math, can't solve a tangent
With no support to keep us alive
Not transportation for the drive and knives and jewels out stealing
All your hours and your stride
To keep walking with this weight you've found has been what made you stand
Yet your shocked to find our differences have left you abandoned
When you demolished streets you called your own and cracked the foundation Supporting your home
It had to end some way, today just wasn't what I planned
I always wanted us to
Stop, evaluate, reset
And when the day became the century and the night became the life, one side with Memories and knowledge
The other's back contains the knife
And it's a long shot I know, and although I won't be taking it with you
Thank you for everything and nothing too
You said I was wrong
And when I lent a hand to reprimand the fact that I was not employed
Someone's successful endeavors left a dream of life destroyed
We could have stopped it
We could have scrapped it all
Never asking for a reason, only wanted you to put your ideas where they mattered
If you want my advice, then fucking fight for your passion and control your life
Not mine
