No Guidelines

My ambition from the start

Was to rely upon my heart

I would not follow

Through every door you opened wide

For me to sneak a peak inside

I solely turned

To the path of my demise

Where you turned right

I turned wrong

If you got it made

If you got all that you craved

If you got away

I'll tell you now you're all the same

I'm falling without ties

I am the one that truly failed

I see you walking by each day

With a frown that tells of your dismay

I reek and stretch out

My empty, lifeless, withered hand

This did not turn out as I planned

I too had dreams

'bout a time and 'bout a place

Instead I live by your grace

You all got it made

You got all that you craved

I guess you must have prayed

All of you who not derailed

For you I hide my eyes

And yeah I realize

I am the one that truly failed

There's always time to tantalize

Always room for analyze

Of the misguided man

Judge not the unfortune one

It could have been your only son

You rose high I tell low

Reaching for the pennies you throw

Humiliated I fawn

For every time you make it

Every time I'm mistaken

And I know when I am gone

No one will ever know

My ambition from the start

Was to rely upon my heart

Now the beats are weakening

My omission of the verity

Made the search of false prosperity

A lure of grandeur

If you embark in my trail

Preconvinced you'll prevail

I'll bequeath no guidelines

You're alone when you fail

If you got it made

If you got all that you craved

If you got away

I'll tell you now you're all the same

I am the one who cries

I'm falling without ties

I am the one that truly failed

You got all that you craved

I guess you must have prayed

All of you who not derailed

For you I hide my eyes

Yes I realize

I am the one that truly failed
