You walked many milestones

Converge into lunacy

This gift, my burden

The foolish optimist in me

I play the victim and you play the fool

Pretending to come undone

Destruction your only rule

Living for pain you gave all your life

The demon with black-snaked eyes

The devil with no surprise

The skin has hardened

Callous to words I say

The stare now hollowed

Soured and ornery

Your relevance was never found

Turned into dust so quickly

A sheep in wolf's clothing that's wracked with fear

A diamond devolved to dust

A tower decaying with rust

Building your house on a landfill of lies

Cracking and crumbling down

Sirens of truth will sound

King of the liars

King with a crooked crown

Becoming the jackal

Cunning in treachery

The jackal, deceit and betrayal

Echoes of savages past

Remain into the soil

Dead of the night

Seemingly no way out

Swallowing down in the spaces

Between the heart and the mind

Heart and the mind

The jackal, cunning in treachery

The jackal, deceived and betrayed
