Cynicism

Betrayed and forgotten
Misled in false directions
Torn apart and broken
The last piece of my mind

I create my own hell
I bear my foolishness with pride
I take the stairway to damnation
My salvation

Inhaling the poison
A lifetime deceased
I lay my hands
Into the fire

With my hands upon the eyes
Avoiding the view of my demons
The irony of my failure
I'm becoming a demon myself

I create my own hell
I bear my foolishness with pride
I take the stairway to damnation
My salvation

Inhaling the poison
A lifetime deceased
I lay my hands
Into the fire

I tasted fire from the deepest shores of hell
It marked my soul with a putrid stygma
And here i stand as a symbol of triumph
The triumph of idiocy
