There Was Always More
Will you believe
What they say about
My life and my heart?
Do you not doubt
That all I know
Is drunken mirth?
A purposeless child—
Is that all I am worth?
Will you ever see
That there always is
History that is hidden;
A past that you'll miss
Should you only watch
For what you believe now?
For years ago, I was
One who knew how
To induce madness
And spread insanity.
I found power in
Wildness and inhumanity.
Wine is always more
Complex than its royal gleam.
And I am more dangerous
Than I may first seem.
Do not believe
What they say I am —
I am so much more than
What they've forced me to become.
