Blasphemy

This is blasphemy 

Not a catastrophe 

This is my path you’ll see

Can’t you just let me be?

 

My capacity for your audacity 

Is decreasing like a battery 

Your living in fantasy 

Cause you’ll never be better than me, naturally 

For you it’s a salary 

For me it’s immortality 

 

This is insanity, the duality

Apathy is my mentality 

Your nothing in actuality

You come after me

Unhappy with what the world has handed me

 

This rhapsody is meant for you to see

Spite is what attracted me and my musicality 

What you say baffles me

Cause we’ve never met, you see?

 

You haven’t distracted me

My family and friends won’t abandon me

You can’t tear me down like a tree

I will rise like the sea

Can you hear my decree?
