Sweet Victory

Take a step back and look what happened 
13 years of crap they were yapping 
Lived my worst fears life collapsed in 
turned me ugly from attractive 

I lost my job and social scene
I even quit the football team
Yet still they carried on so mean
actually wiping my whole life clean

I have nothing that I had then
Unemployed without a friend 
I know I drive you around the bend 
shouting victim over again 

But people purposely targeted me 
using job titles as authority 
they were nasty shameless horrid 
bomb my personal life now borrowed 

They destroyed an actual being 
characteristics I had diminished 
years annoyed my head spinning 
True Injustice refuse to finish 

Never would i surrender 
repressed visions 
mental release 
Breakdowns lift And I remember 
Scenes I’d seen 
with every piece

They lied to make me look bad 
and hide through lies to save their ass 
they were sacked but no one knows 
and I can prove it I can show

They tell people I was sacked 
but I wasn’t and that’s a fact
now we change up good and bad
they are stood where I always have 

13 years of clear defeat 
final whistle never blew 
now I cheer as they are beat 
it’s all over,  I don’t lose

Now they are not a valid talker
no longer are they believed 
stories causing friend to walk far 
are friends that I will never need

A book of slander in my name 
now life took this book away
