Witnessing another's  misery
can sometimes be
      Like looking at bad art
      On a bad  day
Where you can't help but
      find pleasure
      In another's failure
'Cause you can't
    Face your own.

Dreams are
      so easily broken
Wishes
      so easily blown away
The light
      so easily extinguished
A flicker
      in the darkness
So close
     You can grab it
Just a
hairsbreadth 
                         away
But it's a risk
        A gamble
              A house of cards
One misplaced breath
    Time will shamble
One wrong move
And it all
            Falls
                  Ap-
Schadenfreude,
                  is a work of
                                        art
