Fast and fierce, powerful and strong Claiming your rights, while judging my wrongs Standing stick straight, disguised in a mask Throwing your stones, without breaking the glass Trying to hide the kinks in your veins Afraid of the truth, ashamed of the stains Living your life, on a wild ego trip While foolishly letting the dark secrets slip You're a knight dressed in armor of stainless steel Believing this farce of a life is for real But I know the truth, the demons within And the deep dark obsessions that drive you to sin Your nature denied, it keeps you on guard From secrets that teeter, like a house of cards But the bane still simmers beneath your skin Threatening exposure…like an evil twin Yet, you deem me unworthy for the light of day Only as good as a victim of prey While exploiting my nature, you gobble in greed Feigning your virtues, while betraying your creed You whisper confessions across the lines Corrosion that seeps from a wicked mind Then snub your nose like a man of class Still throwing those stones….from your house of glass

Fast and fierce, powerful and strong Claiming your rights, while judging my wrongs Standing stick straight, disguised in a mask Throwing your stones, without breaking the glass Trying to hide the kinks in your veins Afraid of the truth, ashamed of the stains Living your life, on a wild ego trip While foolishly letting the dark secrets slip You're a knight dressed in armor of stainless steel Believing this farce of a life is for real But I know the truth, the demons within And the deep dark obsessions that drive you to sin Your nature denied, it keeps you on guard From secrets that teeter, like a house of cards But the bane still simmers beneath your skin Threatening exposure…like an evil twin Yet, you deem me unworthy for the light of day Only as good as a victim of prey While exploiting my nature, you gobble in greed Feigning your virtues, while betraying your creed You whisper confessions across the lines Corrosion that seeps from a wicked mind Then snub your nose like a man of class Still throwing those stones….from your house of glass
