Empty Accolades

More of your words
Left a mark on my shoulder
I have stayed here for too long

Etched in my sight
All the lies left to smoulder
I don't know how to belong

Fortunes are told
Cut to the bone
I've known
Empty accolades

Fortunes are told
Cut to the bone
I've known
Empty accolades

I'll share the blame
For this plague on our houses
I let this linger too long

Swiftly disguised
But I chose to allow it
Waiting to be proven wrong

Fortunes are told
Cut to the bone
I've known
Empty accolades

Fortunes are told
Cut to the bone
I've known
Empty accolades

Now I'm an awake

Fortunes are told
Cut to the bone
I've known
Empty accolades

Fortunes are told
Cut to the bone
I've known
Empty accolades
