Warning Shot - April 28, 2008

Poisoned words form your lies,
See no mercy in these eyes,
We're not listening to you this time,
It's my turn to write the rhymes,
My turn to finally speak my mind,
And let what I've coiled up unwind,
Because this is where I draw the line,
And if goodbye is the only way, fine.

You're done with this mess, don't need to hear,
How I'm facing you without open ears,
I've heard enough, what's going on is clear,
You think you know what's best for everyone here,
You believe our lives and minds are yours to steer,
You're gonna learn, we're wise beyond our years,
We can see exactly what's happening here,
Our stand is being made, it's something you should fear.

I'm the one who you'll have to stand up to,
The one you'll have to beg to spare you,
Not to string you up like I should do,
And let them all just laugh at you,
I'm the one you'll come crawling back to,
When you fall and see no one around you.

I'm the one you can't be better than,
Cause you can't touch the things I can,
You're nowhere near me, you never can
Be the person I already am.

I'm only getting better, closer to destiny,
You can't get away from that selfish gravity,
Forever stuck there you'll have to be,
Cursed to always look up at me,
You thought it was easy, thought I was weak,
Looks like your ship's starting to sink,
So don't even wonder, don't even think,
You'll ever find me - I'll fade as you blink.
