I pray for all the strength you lack I can't accept the knowledge that my model is imperfect You promised never to be numb I was staving and you fed And clothed me in ideals I thought I'd meet you at the top But you fell victim to the spoils Think back to when you were young Would you be proud of who you have become? I feel the poison, the poison seeping through the cracks I am who I thought you were yesterday another false idol
I'm left as your reflection ashamed I followed Hey, do you hear me? No regard for spitting images It was so important, so important who maps their lives at age 13? Would you denounce the plans you drafted in my youth? Now tears are welling up from the smoke blown in my eyes Your eyes show the ease with which you forget Turn around and look at me Don't wash your hands of me Fall on your sword, say you were wrong You owe me
