Pig with a Spirit

Drifting through the clouds
In a striped, paper sky
Pulling down what's left of your halo
To show the damage of each of your lies

I don't want to know your name
I just want to see you pay
I think you need to feel this
As you watch me burn down your castle

I will take your life
And steal your family
You’ll only own the hate
You impregnated in my soul

Come into my world
Welcome to the real
Come down to life
Tell me, can you feel it yet?

Walking through the streets
Hits you like a bus at full-speed
Takes your appetite and fills it with
This stabbing need to scream in the face
Of every person that ever walked out
And left someone like you
To be whatever to whomever never
Bothering to explain why
They tore it out of you
But not before they broke it in half
Still inside
Still able to hide
But (not) now
Fingernails digging deeper
Into your chest, tell me
Can you feel it yet?!

Smiling as you parade through the world
Fake a laugh as you find yourself trapped
Inside the shell you believed
Only existed in your mind

Slave to the money that you never see
Your fame’s a hooker with a knife

Flip your words around to impress the press
Mediate the media, but you love the attention

Sell your tapes, trash is our god
Get a magazine cover
What’s your voice to me?
Just another noise echoing
Through a world of desperation
You’re a pig with a spirit
You’re nothing but a signature
Last week’s fantasy
This year’s famed insanity
And judging by the look on your face
As firemen extinguish your life
That finally, now you feel it

But tell me…how do you like it?

Author's Note
I've attached a spoken word video, for this one. I've only recently started spoken word recordings and since I have issues with multiple takes, there's usually only one take lol. Anyway, hope you like it!
