I know how villains are made Forged in the fires Of super hero rhetoric Twisted words In the mouths of the good Spoil a good season Unwatered, unattached To fertile earth, exposed To nature's harsh elements Deconstruct: You take all the beautiful words as if From my mouth Leave me nothing to speak Except echo your praises Leaves me hollow, you know? (Un)Related: Send Me Out For Ice Connected, feeling their love When they send you on your mission And you think it’s a quest But no one from your party comes As you further down the road Look back and see no one followed Not a vigilant eye as you further Away from the scene Like they sent you off for ice Worry When you get back The night over, Venue moved, Door shut It's a private engagement Do you ply that threshold? When you risk the fear Unwanted Reconstruct: Drink the Kool-Aid No one is getting killed We don’t want your entire savings Don’t complain if it’s bitter Spit it out Make your face For everyone else to see This is not your party and you can Leave Too acidic this punch Leaves a mouth dry what seems Lifelong In the corner you draw eyes Their stares bring memories of life escaped Returned Haunted by failures of the past Rub your tummy vigorously for all to see Hide secret shame with your integrity Lost What’s the cost of a little fuss? But that’s not where it ends It starts with their distrust Now you have to do something more to appease Would be gods, fake idolatry They want you to grovel handsomely Leave gifts at their transparent feet Ignored The party is a hollow feast for just a few At the table where offerings gather Black vultures guard them with hungry stares You don't dare Help yourself But you can never leave 🎵 |
