You should know better

Believing in something you know better than to want,
Something so far from your reach, it's a tangible ghost
A glimmer of hope you should know you don't deserve, but...

You reach for it all the same, stretching
Your fingertips to touch a gleaming salvation, a glimmering hope
Brushing the silken surface of a shining farce.

For it could be real, it could
Be true enough to risk everything
Not that it matters, you've already fallen

So far
So far
So far away

Is it worth it?
Is it worth everything for a few moments of peace?
Is it worth yourself?

You should know better.
