You put yourself on a pedestal
To look down on everyone you know
And claim to love
Please know that your shallow thoughts
About an entire gender
Cannot be justified by saying you're old fashioned
You are no gentleman
Throwing dirt at the backs of all your friends
Now you've exposed yourself to them
It must be such an inconvenience
That the lies you tell
Get back to who you lied about
You can deny it all you want
You know exactly what you are
And everybody knows the real you now
They're enlightened and unimpressed
Your tongue has crafted quite the web
To capture nothing but yourself
Farewell
(To someone I once thought was a decent person)
My eyes were clouded by trust
That you held in your palm
The same one
That grips the hands of all the girls you lead on
Then tell me they're the bad ones
We were close for so damn long
But you burned us alive for a demon
You condemned until you craved her warmth
With perverted intent
I'm glad I lost you as a friend
You claim to be so good at talking
You brag your lies can shape their decisions
You know the tempo
The right timing
What made you proud of being insincere
You're out of key
You're out of line
Just like a metronome that's ticking out of time
A mere regret of the time I spent
Holding you up so you could stab me in the back
