I cover silver and gold With mange and flees , I roll in rancid things To stave off any smell of nobility. Lowly I walk in shadows .... Of the beautiful....... Slowly I go solo In this masquerade A filthy dog is what they see , Because Ive been beat about the snout ..... And made to believe This is my lot In secret I know I know .... I know ..... I know ......... I am not this monster ... My poor heart ... I wear on my sleeve... I can not keep it in me It's wounded ..... All but rotten ...... Every good deed And all I have forgiven ...... Instantly diminished.... Forgotten .... Madness consumes my sleep . Sleep depravity Bereft's me of strength....... I'm weary of this existence...... Will I ever escape . Will I Will I .... Can I ....... I........... I'm on a roller coaster here Bear with me please ......
