Cracks in fake masks


you keep changing who you are you keep killing every villain I've become I never had a chance to ever grow up because I'm always on the run so brace yourself and get ready let's count down from 3,2,1 let's givem what they wanted bring the bullets, I'll bring the guns. our lives explode with the ferocity of an atom bomb you wrote these words so sing along in the end I hope you got exactly what you wanted you never knew to begin with so you'll forced to be forever haunted by the ghosts of regret and the endless chorus of what ifs the what could have beens and the never given gifts the should haves , could haves, the unspoken words will drive you mad and you become another victim to the latest fad because that's just who you are, a willing player in the game afraid all the synthetic judgement, afraid to use your brain you never were and never will be strong enough to live your life you choose to live with assigned standards, thrive with all the hype surrounding yourself with nothing but fake vampires, who tell you what to do and who give you all the answers it's gotten to the point every word you say kills like cancer stop trying to get my attention, this is the end you craved so you got it a bullet that you loaded in my gun, then you shot it after all the pain was gone and the sorrow took flight and retreated cutting the chord from your poison influence was the cure that I needed realizing now every time you assigned me to blame and you became an instant victim all part of your sick plan and your twisted system you used to smile at me sometimes and admit to the blackness of your soul I should have run right then before it all blew out of control you used my insecurities all my past problems and addictions you took all my flaws and weaponized my chemical inflictions cruelty I know now has a face , there's gonna come a time your gonna be put in your place the tables will turn and the shoe forced on the other foot robbed of everything your black heart holds dear and the happiness from the lives you took.
