Opportunist
Smiles in face pale
Benign heart fades to black
Smart and sassy
Opportunist at her peak
Bottomlessness of ingratitude
Shambles of shame
Shadow of wrath
Empty filthy air
Heartless hopeless
Tomorrow 'll come
I'll see what it would be
With you at the wheel
So unbelievable
I toiled,I worked
I endured and I...
But it's hard to believe
I'm the butt
The gun in your hand
Fire away without care
I don't care how it hurts
Wished I had known better
Well doesn't it serve me right
Lost in close empty chase
Trying to better what's lost
Spoilt forever and ever
Forever forever and a day
Forever forever 'll make a way
Forever forever I 'll say
I did enjoyed the burnt stake
I thank God it's now
In shaky heavy heart
Leaping relentlessly to stop
Nothing for grabs
Nothing for keeps
The mannequin and her sword
Piercing..oh pincer tear away in mercy
The long long battle set
We shall see how it goes.
