Slash

 
I'm going to slash and burn
turn the screws ever tighter
hierarchy rules are for the weak minded
I will not bow and scrape
the stars are my ceiling
there is no way to cap me in or out
once in my infancy you did this
I will take what's mine
 
if you've pulled on my heartstrings
then think to play games with my mind
understand this...
you will carry the ache of me eternally
I'll make sure you do
my voice and flavor will haunt you
threaten to break my heart...I dare you
 
there are no more secrets
the host loves to gossip
indiscretions...I looked the other way
in my face insults will not be tolerated
 
you think me a child
in the art of subtly and seduction
I tell you I'm one of a kind
and war is my specialty
I'm made for it
I will die with my honor intact
 
will you concede I defeated you
will you really?
