Vitriol Blues (aka Empty Castle Blues)

So your castles empty
your queen has been driven away
so your life is empty
you thought you didn’t need her anyway
well now your bed is empty
There’s no one where she used to lay
you thought you were so independent
but she just laughed and ran away

So now your life is broken
you had it coming a long way
so now your ego’s broken
you needed it pumped up everyday
and now that your door is open
there’s no one to come in and stay
Friends figured out your self-importance
so they just laughed and turned away

Sometimes it must get lonely
being so bright and good and true
and I know you know that only
the strong know what to do
but then it dawned on you slowly
that even I could walk out on you
and when they rammed through your defences
I’ll just laugh and turn away

So your castles empty
your queen has been driven away
so your life is empty
Now even I refused to stay
I once thought of you as my good friend
On which my very life may depend
And you thought you were indispensable
But we both laughed and walked away
