I am a liar, I am a cheat
I am violent so don't come near me
I stole your heart and all of its dreams under the guise of art and the hopes of peace
Some call me pious, others a miscreant
They may be biased but I don't care what they think
Run away, I am a deviant
Save yourself from pain and mistreatment
I'm at your home throwing stones through your window
I follow you when you're on your own
We are alone
As you run out back, I'll shoot you in the leg
Consider it luck the bullet missed your head
Come back out front because that's common sense
You'll blame yourself, accept the consequence
A bruised lip and a battered cheek means you'll hide at home for another week
Don't go to work and let people see that you misbehaved in front of me
This is madness, it's a habit you'll find
I inhabit your mind, spreading poison in time
You need sadness I think you'll find
You cant sustain euphoria all the time
I confess that I notice when you're not around, but I live my life under threat
I'm not upset despite that you beat me down just to keep me in check
You thrive off ideologies that frankly I cannot see
But I don't know if you're friend or foe
I know that I'm in your debt
You thrive off ideologies that frankly I do not believe
I am scared what might happen if I leave
And you wrote to me to ask me to leave
You would beg and plead
Bargaining would only bring unpleasant things
Arguing just strengthens me
You'll never be free
I've been designed to deceive, but I wont let you dictate me
I serve a purpose, you think I'm worthless, ignore me if you think it will hurt less
Prevent me from ruin and I'll keep you human
A reward for a service
So why am I nervous?
