Seeing shades of blue

I don't want to colour inside the lines anymore,
I'm too tired to play charades with a cheat.
I've waited too long for your apologies,
your rhymes have turned stale.

I bite my lips
Because I know
What you've become
Is larger than life.

You made me better,
or so I thought
like a child addicted to cough syrup.
before I found your broken alibis.

I need to resurface, see the sun again,
before this drama gets out of hand.
The pantomime behind the stage
has been turned into a freakshow.

You're the piece in the puzzle that doesn't fit.
I'll make it out of this nightmare on my own, without your help
I've rediscovered my feet.
They walk the path less shaken.

You blamed me for your shortcomings
I realise that I've
awaken from your delusions
even though I learnt my lesson the hard way

You put me through hell,
your chemical flames corroded my mind
You told me lies, I swallowed them whole
I was worse than blind, you smothered my soul.

But now I know
Your farce has lost its joke.
The more you insist
the more I can't cope.

Say goodbye to the person who you once knew
She won't stay around to watch the skies turn blue.
Your footprints won't last,
but mine will endure.
