déjà vu

Déjà vu

I’ve been down this road before
The pain, the tears; suffrage
I’ve sunk so low in the past
Dissatisfaction flowing fast
I’ve known what it’s like to be hurt
Your voice roping me back in
I’ve fallen to be crushed
Stricken with déjà vu

I’ve lived this life of misery
It seems the only thing I know
I’ve grown distant from everyone
Hardened by myself
I’ve seen the wounds love can inflict
Experienced firsthand, by me
I’ve slipped right back into my ways
Stricken with déjà vu

I’ve marveled at the spectacles
Haunting poltergeists of memories
I’ve freed myself of regret
Dawning on me, revelations scream
I’ve counted my withering hopes
Once again, lined with acid
I’ve crumbled away into nothing
Stricken with déjà vu
