Pathetic
I sneak and slither in the darkness
I steal, lie, and waste
I ravenously eat the candy
It's the rush not the taste
I live for the high
Yet feel nothing but low
I'd pretend to be alive
but why put on a show
For your enjoyment here is the liar
Here is the lowliest of thieves
Here is what they tell you not to be
Only through deception he achieves
