I deserve it

Mock what I am made of

I have deserved it

And now you are delivering

What only is right

Slicing at what I have built

Out of the slices of others

I had a high rein

But what goes up must

Be rebelled against

And must fall

And I fell hard

 

The never-ending branches

Of complicated things

People connected to me

Like lace fit for Satan's bride

Vain relationships

Flimsy fake friendships

I had so much pride in them

Even I wonder why

Why I had so much pride

 

I have nothing to be proud of

And I never have

But I know now

And I deserve it

My rein is over

Goodbye my timid subjects

I cry for the pain I caused you

But my eyes are dry

For the blows I receive

As my punishment

As I fall
