A Trust So Darkly

I don't wanna talk, don’t wanna see,
Your lies just drown out all I believe.
I don’t wanna work, I don’t wanna trust,
When every word you say turns to dust.
I don't wanna date, don’t wanna fall,
In a world where you don’t stand tall.
I don't wanna follow, don’t wanna lead,
In a game that feeds on greed.
I don’t trust you, can't take no more,
You’ve closed the doors, and I’m walking out the door.
I don’t trust you, it’s a bitter fight,
But I’ll stand tall and I’ll be alright.
I don’t want your life advice,
When you live in a world of compromise.
I don’t want your love, I don’t want your hate,
When you make it all about your fate.
I don’t want your rules, don’t want your game,
Your world is wild, and it’s all the same.
I don’t want your peace, don’t want your war,
I can’t trust you anymore.
I don’t trust you, can't take no more,
You’ve closed the doors, and I’m walking out the door.
I don’t trust you, it’s a bitter fight,
But I’ll stand tall and I’ll be alright.
You can keep your lies, your twisted ways,
I won’t follow, not today.
I’ll take my freedom, take my mind,
Leave your chains and ties behind.
I’ve left you behind, you’ve lost your way,
I don’t trust you, not today.
