Final Goodbye
You tell me that I'm lost
That my words are slipping into the abyss
That all the people I love, love they dismiss.
Tell me my brain don’t work, the way it used to
That my keenness is rusting
The knife, it ain’t cutting
But I must disagree,
The things I'm learning
The people I'm meeting
They don’t beat on me
Like the way you are beating.
They pick me up when I fall down
They pull me out, before I drown
So nah, I ain’t criticizing
But I see your guilt arising
I've been watching your whole world collapse
And smash...
But still, I see you’ve nothing better to do
Than to slit my throat
Try to take my shoes
But now you see those shoes don’t fit
They're too big for your feet
Now your empire's falling, screams in the street
You said it was easy but now look where you are
You’re buried in the muck
Face down, no scars
You're buried in your words
Now you see how much it hurts
Your people turned against you
‘cause you ain’t earning
The children, they’re laughing, they’re playing, they’re gay ‘cause
They don’t know that the world’s gonna screw ‘em over
They don’t know about people like you
Waiting in the shadows to feast on their innocence
Ravaging beasts, you people live in plain sight
Like a homicidal maniac
With your strings tied too tight
Wrapped around and spun
The strings of the puppeteer don’t break
They don’t give way with the words the little children say
You've grown too big
You've gone too above
You aren’t in contact with your human side
That thing’s been dead for the longest of times
You wipe off your fingers: the evidence, the blood
You grab your shovel, body hits the mud
The blood, it’s still warm
And your ways have yet to be conformed
You can’t go on living this way
You've made your choice and for that choice you will pay
Do you remember how you had felt, not so long ago?
The power you had held?
The desideratum deep down in your bones?
How weak your victims had looked
From your throne in which you had dwelled?
Can you recall the fear in their eyes?
And the way it made you feel inside?
Did you ever reminisce about that time,
When she said no and you heard yes?
When you laughed at her screams
And proceeded to undress?
Did it ever haunt you, the unforgivable you had committed,
Or are you indifferent to moral feelings,
simply because, from that, you were acquitted?
Now it doesn’t matter what you say
You're too far gone, anyway
I don’t care if you cry
When that noose is tied
I don’t care anymore
This is your Final Goodbye.
