Mr. Cynicism (ring 'o roses)
Footprint instantly recognizable
A human sized trail
In your wake
Did they put up a struggle?
As you discretely slipped
Fiction down their throat
'Till you are the ruler
Of half-alive and crawling truths
He sets up his piano
At center stage
Mr. Cynicism plays the
Negatives in your head again
Pounding emphasis on
High C's like screaming
Thorns in your side
Ring a ring 'o roses
A pocket full of poison
You stab at me, you stab at me
Emotions crashing down
Is there any human
In that monster anymore?
I don't want to know
Mr. Cynicism is killing
You softly with
Your own lies
He crouches, dead-panned eyes
Scower warily late at night
Nailing your coffin
Lined with all the scars
You have caused us
I'm afraid all your luck
Has run dry
Goodbye
