this is humanity's own Pandora’s Box
watch as it unfolds watch as it unlocks
besties for life - what are friends for
to be used as an ends to your means
a toy to play with, a shortcut to your goal
a rag doll to shield your schemes
thrown away when growing mould growing old
love is a game - you won’t get bored
for like minded killers and villains
to slowly entrap, their lives under the lake
till spiralling obsession and infatuation bleeds pain
leaving the world with one less snake
people are leeches - death at the core
don’t get too close or you’ll become a shell
their heartless chests hold more than just evil
one wrong step gives way to vampirical spells
one more trick leads you straight to the devil
nature is a curse - thorns at the fore
we think we own it - it owns us
we sleep on thrones of poison ivy
we survive on the shadows of feeble trust
we bide our time before this becomes a privy
souls are myths - just emotional whores
we scream and moan and shout and cry
hanging onto threads of sanity
we think we’re brave, we’re scared to die
sucking our own blood - please join us for tea
reality is dreamland - we hide behind closed doors
we cover our eyes so we can see
whatever we see is what we believe
what we believe are all the lies we’ve been
dreams are ghosts of things we’ll never achieve
maybe once we’ve reached the limit the ceiling the floor
we’ll learn our lesson, once and for all
