How they listen to your double tongue
These blinded sheep that you have won
With every word they sit and linger
As you wind them tighter amongst your finger
You who speak of tormented love
With a voice from heaven above
Do entreat with longing words
To capture pity with vision blurred
But alone, far from the waiting eyes
You speak so unlike your posted lies
And through a voice of different name
You still play out wrongful blame
And your heart lies rotting all the same.
So stir the pot! and hide the truth
You child of deceitful, self-serving, worth
And run from yourself, run you fast
From the face in your mirrored looking glass
I will play on as the merry fool
The better to be your "pity me" tool
And all the sheep that linger and drool
Will remain enraptured in your lying pool
When all the seasons have crossed your brow
And lined it with wrinkles of then and now
When regrets have forced you and your ways
In memory forever will you live out your days.
