you called yourself a victim
with blood on your hands
*
whilst you cannot be criticised
I’m bleeding to death
*
you destroy our livelihoods
and villainise us in the same breath
*
she talks about her soul
but her eyes are blank
*
you presented yourself in the best way
and I believed it
and I lied to myself
I myself put you in the limelight
*
when success set in
the laurels of our dedication
you sure pulled the ladder up behind you
as quickly as you could
*
I truly wanted to believe
everything you pretended to be
*
because at some point people would say no to you
and the hardships you cause
you stand tall
because you crush their shoulders
*

she plays nice
she plays nice
she plays nice
careful, she’ll bite
*
and because she seems so nice
acts so nice, nice, nice, nice,
it makes me sick,
nobody would ever think that
she had a mean bone in her body
she fools her audience well
*
it didn’t take her two minutes
to wipe the smile off her face and
badmouth you behind your back
*
did you think that I’d
still walk around as if nothing happened
after you chopped my head off?
*
stand by your choices
stand by your actions
but you betray them
by putting on a false face
a mass grave of lies
*
they come out to play
only when they can make themselves look good
*
I made you look good
but words don’t matter to you
money matters
and I see right through you
and there’s nothing left
how could I have not seen this coming?
*
she took the safe side
safe money
and latched herself onto you
sucking you dry
and you still think that you’re in charge
*
he wants my body to function
not my soul to live
*
