I’ve shaken the witness
My life is 100% truthless
I have them eating from my trembling, callused palm
They look up, wipe their mouths, they look at me calm
Believed everything I said, I think
My word’s a faucet, their mind’s a sink
They return later to continue the feast
Like carrion crows, they’re all just ravenous beasts
They don’t care whether it’s alive or dead
They just eat eat eat until all has been said
On my behalf, I think I’ve run out of lies
To tell the crows, my friends, I’m all out of sighs
To use and pause as I think of a solution
To questions that I made full of pollution
Contaminated with my lies they look nearly pristine
Except for that little chip in the glass at the edge of the screen
That’s where I hide my lies, the truth is finally out
I give up. To the rood I do shout
I’m a liar, a thief and not a great kin
A politician, a senator, an Emperor, and a sin
It’s a tragedy that I should have met you
I ruin lives, not save them, I am the anti-glue
That breaks people apart, not brings them together
You thought I saved a relationship. I did it as a personal endeavor
To test my power over the race of mankind
To alter people, to control them, and all with my mind
I am not the good-hearted, savior you have proclaimed
I’m just a dictator, a cruel ruler, which I myself have ordained
Crowned myself as the ruler of you all
You were an extension of my will; a servant always on call
I used you like a hunter uses his spear
To kill you before you kill me simply out of fear
Were you even ever going to kill me?
I’m not too sure. I can’t really see
Maybe you weren’t my enemy after all
I betrayed you anyways; the epicenter of my fall
I made a mistake, I won’t do so again. Look! My torso does bend
My nose to the floor in apology; can you try again to be my friend?

The imagery in this is just amazing.  I completely love it, love it, love it!
