Skilled in a craft, that you are

One that takes hope and leaves scars

A profession of discretion when truth is demanded

game of thieves in a den of players

this trade of yours is a sickly twisted art.


Silver with your tongue, you can be

forked like a serpent you play two fields

take contradicting angles with a hypocrite's seal

talk to demons and angels making underhanded deals

what you appear is not who I now see

for truth reveals you're in the business of breaking hearts.


Sweet with your eyes, poisonous vice

everything nice until I chanced to think twice

you listened and heard where my weaknesses were

you took credit for my success so you could bring me down again

and to think, I actually thought you were different

but in the grand scheme, you took the charade too far.


So farewell, no, good riddance, I say

you pretended the best but the worst is what came

Go ahead, tear me up, talk behind my back

you always loved drama, but you'd deny that

wasted years, wasted tears, no more of this

some friend you turned out to be

honestly now you're just pitifully sick

though it hurts to speak the words I must,

I hope you're happy.

and no, check your ego, I'm not jealous, dear.

I'm just saying, I'm gone.

look around, I'd be surprised if anyone's there.

Truth reveals your true nature, bitter and cold.

That ice in your veins, yeah, it's growing old.
