Bruised and bloody I press on, upon my lips an eerie song


    The words never firmly form, yet somehow leave me warm


    And so I hum deep and true from the heart, even as my failing flesh falls apart


    These pieces of me were meant to be discarded, this constant agony is best left disregarded


    That broken shade is no longer me and now without him I know glee


    Unburdened by the compulsions of an honorable man


    How freeing it is to be a monster with cunning plan


    If being nice is what got me here, then deferent kindness can disappear!


    For so long I''ve been aiding others while damning myself, so now you parasites can all go to Hell

    I destroyed my body for you and spent my fleeting sanity too


    Now all that''s left is my indomitable spirit bleeding through


    I''m done running myself ragged for your play when you won''t even give my needs the time of day


    I still want to help you, I''d wish you all the best, but I know you fucking vultures are counting my breaths


    So feel free to drop dead yourselves, your doing just fine with that, don''t need my help


    Don''t you dare try to drag me down, you dug this grave so get in the damned ground


    I only hope that when you get what''s yours that I''ll around


    to smile and know, to say ''I told you so''


    And so another piece of me falls away, there''s less and less of me day by day


    I''m told there''s iron at the heart of our star, that only in the crucible do we learn what we truly are


    Yet I think I''ve always sort of known what I am under malformed flesh and crumbling bone


    I''m Genuine, Wise, and just a touch Bizarre. I laugh at my misery to spite all my scar


    I plot and I scheme to keep entertain, that''s just one way I cope with the pain


    So bugger right off and find someone else to drain, I may live for fiction but I''m dreadfully sane


    I won''t tolerate any more predation, so leave me to my harmless recreation


    Else you shall fall prey to tenfold retaliation and learn the truth of the word desolation.
