Dungeon of the Lord of Lies

There's an angry, confused and sad man - I see it in his eyes Putting up a synthetic smile and front - his primary disguise He's choking and suffering in his pointless mundane life So the anger, rage, and hatred course thru his veins - he cuts himself w/ a knife He tries to hang himself - killing what he believes is a reincarnated life Yet yearning and craving the normalcy of children and a wife His backwards "love" he attempts to display Will never fix what's still wrong with us today and yesterday He doesn't comprehend what healthy love entails today Instead he's stuck in our distant past of yesterdays A working companionship consists of a tight-knit positivity of a team But for us ever attempting to work again - it's just become a pipe dream The self-centered selfishness of violent and unpredictable hate From me every ounce of my energy it will take Seldom do we follow what both you and I know we need to do But it confuses this process when I'm truly me and you're not truly you It will never be balanced 'cause you've always gotta win While I'm left trapped in your itty-bitty corner - alone by myself I'll defend Like an idealistic symbol of a Luciferian Templar Knight I become lost within your hypnotizing infinite blight Dizzying and dirtying my robotic mind You've become the junior of the serial killer - 'cause you'll torture, kill, and bind Like an Old God with a soul who's lost the entirety of his shine Turning over and churning the possibilities in your mentally sick mind Overnighting in a haunted cemetery - coated with your gas-like bliss But lost in your madness of a world - succumbed to your poisonous kiss Tumbling down into your rabbit hole of your echoing and murderous pit of Hell Where all you jaded and twisted angels landed and ultimately fell Oh but you?! You're different! You're the King of 'em all Exhausted and desperately - I concoct and build my bulletproof wall I watch in utter horror as you jackhammer all of them down I'm waking dazed and confused in your Hell's Pit - trapped w/ you underground
