Perpetually Deceived

Perpetually deceived

I'm always

tired and flattered

Meat on the platter

Not very good at anything

Always on the ladder

Grasping at tatters

Hounded by laughter 

at the spoils I bring

Perpetually deceived

How could you do this to me?

(No power no motion

But one sure constant)

Perpetually deceived

How could you do this to me?

(No power no motion

But one sure thing)

You're always coming or going

With no way of knowing

Barely the time

To announce my self

Always an annoyance

To your precious moments

Are you really the mentor

You said you'd be?

Perpetually deceived

How could you do this to me?

(No power no motion

But one sure constant)

Perpetually deceived

How could you do this to me?

(No power no motion

But one sure thing)

We're always sorry it's so daunting

To manage time wanting

In between work and private things

There's few things that matter

and more that we'd rather

talk it all over, 

the next time we meet

Perpetually deceived

How could you do this to me?

(No power no motion

But one sure constant)

Perpetually deceived

How could you do this to me?

(No power no motion

But one sure thing)
