Narcissus |
Caught in the headlamp glare of your own blinding vanity |
Mesmerised by the stare of your shallow personality |
Gorging the junk food of flattery you drag your fat ego around |
Everyone floored by the battering you give to whoever’s around |
Trapped in the personal hell of your own desperate addiction |
Frightened that others can tell of your expensive affliction |
With your happiness based on a chemical you wax lyrical with words so profound |
When your indulgence reaches that level it’s safest not to be around |
Oh Narcissus you petulant child admiring yourself in the curve of my eyes |
Oh Narcissus you angel beguiled unsated by self you do nothing but die |
Wrapped in the transparent lies of your desperate situation |
You expound on imaginary ties expecting us to believe them |
In the absence of concrete commitment |
You’ve all the attention that money can buy |
Not caring that those who still love you are callously thrown to one side |
Oh Narcissus you petulant child admiring yourself in the curve of my eyes |
Oh Narcissus you angel beguiled unsated by self you do nothing but die |
Oh Narcissus you treacherous child admiring yourself in the curve of my eyes |
Oh Narcissus you angel beguiled unsated by self you do nothing but die |
Hey you dog man whelp of a litter of scavengers |
Bolting the flesh of your victims with a ravenous greed |
You work with your siblings up to a point |
'til your ego is sated or your wallet fulfilled |
Jealously guarding the bones of your kill |
With a malice that’s born out of fear |
Running with the pack your defence is to attack |
But I detect you in your stealth because you’ve rolled in your own filth |
You hope to gain my trust with your cowardly disguise |
Whispering such confidences my revulsion to a-wreck |
You call yourself my friend you call yourself my friend |
And when I turn my back your fangs will feel my neck |
What is your domain but a barn where your runts roll in the reek |
You would seek to steel my freedom and have branded me a freak |
I want nothing of your snarling mongrel strain your smarmy doggerel lies |
And if these words have singed your fur consider yourself a whipped cur |
Gorging the junk food of flattery you haul your fat ego around |
Everyone floored by the battering you give to whoever’s around |
Oh Narcissus you petulant child admiring yourself in the curve of my eyes |
Oh Narcissus you angel beguiled unsated by self you do nothing but die |
