Song/Poem: On His Way Down

[mademoiselepoet]

every little lie he's ever spoken,
sparks the tears on her face
she wants to know the truth
but it's been misplaced.

every little fib that he's told,
in his mind rings true.
he doesn't even realize
what he's saying to you.

he's on his way down
the darkest of roads
but you can't try to reason
before he explodes

like a mine in the dark
he's just planted unseen
and daddy's on his way down
to becoming a dream

he doesn't pay his bills
because he won't go to work
this man he's becoming
is some low life jerk

he doesn't play nice
because he thinks he's alone
doesn't call his kids anymore
because he's lost his phone

he's on his way down
the darkest of streets
but you can't try to reason
without meeting defeat

like a mine in the dark
he's just planted unseen
and daddy's on his way down
to becoming a dream

oh daddy why can't you just get some help?
wake up from this world you're trapped within
our hands are outstretched on the other side
ready to pull back in...

but he's on his way down
the darkest of trails
but you can't try to reason
and he's going to fail

just like a fucking mine in the dark
he's just planted unseen
and daddy's on his way down
to becoming
becoming,
becoming a bad dream
