Do not use the past as an alibi
For all of your deficiencies always standing by
Face your negligence, do not fool yourself
Shortcomings will soon appear
For weakness shows itself
Blind from your success and all of the excess
Deaf from the praise you had
In a misty veil, misplaced
Where castles in the air will be no longer seen
As something out of reach
In time the dream will be erased
So many things will never be
The way they seemed
And pride will have it's fall at last
Don't cry out of self pity
In forcing your way through
For I will not be vulnerable
To slander made by you
Blind from your success and all of the excess
Deaf from the praise you had
In a misty veil, misplaced
Where castles in the air will be no longer seen
As something out of reach
In time the dream will be erased
So many things will never be
The way they seemed
And pride will have it's fall at last
