From the recording Death of Destiny
This is the story of how I came to my divorce... without using the d-word.

Lyrics
VERSE 1 & 2
Deliriously dancing on our designated day
Delusionally thinking we can stay this way.
Dynamic duo dovetailing in synchronicity
Dedicated to you for eternity.
Decided to devote myself despite the consequence
Determined to endure my own despondence.
I disavowed my soul’s directives in the name of us,
But when does feeling “fine” become dangerous?
CHORUS
Darling my dearest, our decade’s been a dream.
My deepest desires I didn't mean to demean.
I denied myself emotion in deliberate devotion
To deliver it to you. But I always knew
I was living in deniability of my dark discovery;
Destination: me.
Death of Destiny.
VERSE 3
Keeping you delighted, my Deliverance
Diligently dodging disagreements;
Dutifully chose to serve you
Didn't fully trust I deserve to live for me
At all.
CHORUS
Darling my dearest, our decade’s been a dream.
My deepest desires I didn't mean to demean.
I denied myself emotion in deliberate devotion
To deliver it to you. But I always knew
I was living in deniability of my dark discovery;
Destination: me.
Death of Destiny.
BRIDGE
Deserted in development, I didn't dare to be
Dedicated to living truthfully.
My disappointments deep inside
Devoured me with daggered knives
Till the devils that remained
Were dull deference and disdain.
Our day-to-days are dogged
By disillusion and denial.
I will define me by turning back my dial.
CHORUS
Darling my dearest, our decade’s been a dream.
My deepest desires I didn't mean to demean.
I denied myself emotion in deliberate devotion
To deliver it to you.
'Cause I never knew that
Darling my dearest, my damage is obscene
My dad disappeared, I didn't learn how to be
Dependent on emotion
So I dammed up an ocean
Dividing me from you.
Too much to undo.
OUTRO
So I’m deviating course
With desperate remorse.
"For better, for worse
I need us two…"
