ain't got soul and you can't just sew it on

kings and queens think they're immune
everyone thinks that, too, apparently
everyone can't get enough of themselves
pricks, i'll show them

myriads, taking dives off the deep end
endlessly, there's too many to count, imagine if i had to

tell-tale signs of longing drip from their gazes
unidentified yearning settles in their irises
coming soon to a person near you, the mantra reads
kills thousands every day, but is never stopped
easier just to ignore it when it ain't affecting you, right?
debt when it comes to the mafia ain't cheap, though

accuse me if you want
when was i not doing my job?
accuse me if you want
you're just mad i took yours away
