Straw Man

Straw man.
Worm your way into the putty-like minds of most of mankind- exploit all its' evils to do your bidding.
Live life a parasite- clinging to blood for life- wash the weak brains in stages, sharing false joy with smiling faces.
Foundation built of straw, ignites with only a spark and burns beyond recognition;
I can't help but think how easy all straw men burn, pouring the death from their hands, so often the one that breaks the camel's back.
Inflicting pain your only solution- what are you waiting for? Try to cast the match that burns us all down.
Your hollow words and teachings are not enough to sway me- I'll turn it right back around, and use your words to burn you down.
Exploit yourself to gratify something else; ask no further questions, or there will be hell to pay.

Degenerate.
Those I used to turn to turn away- lives gone beyond being needed any more.
Standing too close to escape unscathed, got hit head on by the kicking shut of a once wide open door.
First to tell, last to leave- true to the end,
the straight-shooting arrow of friendship, suddenly fucking bent.
Thought we'd seen it all- now I know I have.
You're the new leading advocate, of what I'm dead against.
Time and time again, I've finally learned what to expect from a friend-
to lie, deceive and take the peace of my mind, my soul, and fill me full of doubt.
Unless it comes from within, you learn to live without.
Retribution doesn't mean a thing if you can't live up to what you say- and I haven't seen you do it yet.
And you're right- I don't give a fuck what you new ideals have to say anymore, and I don't even need to even the score.
You cheapened the invaluable, burned bridges, fuck both your two faces.
I've gone on stronger, and in the end it's you who will have to live without.

Premonition.
Oh, will you please, forgive me for my infidelities? Who are you to cast me out, when you're never anywhere to be seen?
Hope is wasted on the future and regret is wasted on the past.
Eternal life is no reward gained when a mold is cast and all are poured into it; an eternity of complacency is no peace of mind while watching this world go to hell.
Promise of redemption with too high of expectations.
I hold no reverence for your ethereal presence, not convinced of results and not following your by-laws.
An eternity of complacency is no peace of mind while watching this world go to hell.
There is no excuse for detachment of such proportions,
why are your words able to be twisted if they're so absolute?
I don't need to learn life lessons at your hands,
at least until the time comes when you answer my questions.
I don't need to learn life lessons at your hands,
you should try learning through mine; I won't abandon in time of need, won't toy with my loved one's minds.
Why do you falsely claim to save when all your theories do is condemn,
and how could something so peaceful, turn into such a violent hoax?
