I could stand here for 3 minutes and wag my little finger
While I could recount all the stupid shit you said at dinner
Didn't take but 5 minutes for my senses to fail
This dagger between my shoulders is beginning to impale
When your eyes are closed and your back is turned
You would not believe what observant ears have heard
Your sugar coated words from your forked tongue make me say:
I never liked you anyway
Sociopsychohalucicrap spewing from behind your teeth
Like plastic toys from china everyone's had you and you're cheap
There is no reason for all the cruel things you've done
I guess it's your loneliness and how you despise everyone
Everything you told me about everything you knew
Was a hallucination birth from an empty part of you
Me and the kinship I thought was worth my time of day
You're a liar and a failure I never liked you anyway
When your eyes are closed and your back is turned
You would not believe what observant ears have heard
Your sugar coated words from your forked tongue make me say:
I never liked you anyway
All you adore is dramatics as you knit a scarf of lies
When you look into a mirror you'll find what you despise
But mostly I'm aware that you must just hate yourself
Because this behavior you slapped me with leaves you nothing else
When your eyes are closed and your back is turned
You would not believe what observant ears have heard
Your sugar coated words from your forked tongue make me say:
I never liked you anyway
