A.T.N.B.

You put yourself on a pedestal To look down on everyone you know And claim to love Please know that your shallow thoughts About an entire gender Cannot be justified by saying you're old fashioned You are no gentleman Throwing dirt at the backs of all your friends Now you've exposed yourself to them It must be such an inconvenience That the lies you tell Get back to who you lied about You can deny it all you want You know exactly what you are And everybody knows the real you now They're enlightened and unimpressed Your tongue has crafted quite the web To capture nothing but yourself Farewell (To someone I once thought was a decent person) My eyes were clouded by trust That you held in your palm The same one That grips the hands of all the girls you lead on Then tell me they're the bad ones We were close for so damn long But you burned us alive for a demon You condemned until you craved her warmth With perverted intent I'm glad I lost you as a friend You claim to be so good at talking You brag your lies can shape their decisions You know the tempo The right timing What made you proud of being insincere You're out of key You're out of line Just like a metronome that's ticking out of time A mere regret of the time I spent Holding you up so you could stab me in the back
