Silverfish

If i told you nothing’s ever good enough for me
Would you play judge or jury?
If i said that i was happily unhappy
Would you even believe me?
I’m just a cynic and i know it
I’m just a liar disguised as a poet
Don’t let me drag you down
I’ll run your dreams into the ground
Tear down the things that scare me
Keep my expectations low to prepare me
For what i know will eventually come
Drawing maps inside my head so i know where to run
I’m just a cynic and i know it
I’m just a liar disguised as a poet
Don’t let me drag you down
I’ll run your dreams into the ground
I hide the truth in a mountain of lies
I walk alone in a forest of eyes
They see right through me
You’d have to bend me to break me
You’d have to unmake me to make me
Do it again, and i probably would
Stick a knife through these scars
Open up old wounds just to see what’s inside
See what i’m made of
I could write a line to right a wrong
And i could write a song so they could sing along
But this path i walk is mine alone
“heavy lies the crown”
