Dearly Departed

You stabbed us in the back
Now you’re dead to me
You left your closest friends
Don’t come crawling back
Just face the music
Like you never could
Was it worth it?
Let hindsight speak for us
You were willing to give it all up
But at what cost my friend?
Tell me, are you happy now?
Are you content without us?
Ride or die, we were always by your side
People change but our bond, it never dies
I look at you I see a stranger’s eyes
To all of us you were worth at least a try
An ultimatum that we didn’t want to make
We wanted to be there for your sake
You jumped out of the pan into the fire
Counting down the days til you expire
Try your best to swallow your pride
And tell us how you were wrong this time
Time has only ever proven us right
Only you can dig your way out of this one
Your time has come to give up the ghost

Resentment

I see you watching in jealousy
Seeing just how far I’ve come
It’s been years and you’re still
Sitting in the same place as before
Your cockiness keeps your head up
High enough for your chin to get checked
I am obsessed with the thought
Of watching you perish
You’re a fish in a barrel
Waiting to catch a fucking bullet
I see you like a sitting duck
Waiting for the hunt
I still harbor that hatred
You still invoke emotion
I find you hard to forgive
For your pure stupidity

Ignorance

The ones in power give you the courage
To spew your hatred into the streets
The toxic waste of society
Who needs to be disposed of
The ones who are oppressed by you
Forced to endure such nightmarish pain
Put yourself in another’s place
And live their life through your own eyes
Yet you proudly proclaim your ignorance
Think of every excuse in the book
As long as there’s justification
You turn your cheek and stay silent
You will be just as abused as they were
Maybe more so, you ignorant filth.
Bleed.

Your incapacity for empathy is bringing your demise
You never realize anything unless it’s in hindsight
Paranoia seeps into your veins and brings toxicity
You sit alone and wonder why everyone but you is wrong
No one looks up to you like you think they do
Everyone looks down on you, you pitiful excuse
Of a man who’s lost his way and can’t get back on track
Your problem lies within, something you’ll never admit
Plagued by pride and insecurity
You never once tried to find a cure for
Content with being sick for all your life
Refusing to consider introspection
Take a good look in the mirror, and see what lies within
Nothing but a feeble man who’s empty and broken
Like a weight you carry pride, puffing out your chest
All it takes is a single blow to rid you of your misery
Let the blade penetrate your fucking skin
And let the sanguine color from from within
