Incandesca - Character Flaws

You want a story book ending
(Raised with the silver screen)
But that's not how life works.
(Unrealistic hopes nurtured unattainable heights)
Work hard kid or go for broke.
(Fiction you read into leaves you expecting)
This is not a joke, this is where my lines lead

You should have known better
When you opened your mouth to spill those lies from your throat
The mark of a liar extended with each word, presented on your face
I know your shame, it's clear
You'll never be a real boy

Waiting for the start
Of a story I once held in my heart
From start to finish
Burning up, you threw the ashes in my face
Spit on the aftermath to say to hell with saving face

All I asked for was your faith in me
But thanks to you my dreams of falling came true
I prayed for love in the end
All you left for me was stale air

I hope you're satisfied
With the ending you've written
My pen in your hand stained red
This bed of dirt you made yourself to rot in
Will never bare my rose to wither forgiveness

Waiting for the start
Of a story I once held in my heart
From start to finish
Burning up, you threw the ashes in my face
Spit on the aftermath to say to hell with saving face

Life isn't based on make believe
But you better make me believe it when you say it
Cause these dreams are all I have
And don't you take that away from me
