Pride is King

CATEGORY

And in this Man's world Pride is King...

the noise that drowns out everything.

How can I sing of love, 

when he places none above... his ego?

And if it were I that served that mighty blow

that demoted me from friend to foe,

a sacrifice of blood— wouldn't be enough… to save me from the flood— of his wrath—

It's Issacs’s math...

I still gotta write my epitaph,

and give the accounting on my soul's behalf

to The Great Mathematician in the Sky

and still, copy and receipt you as to why

I am soo undeserving of your love...

 

A love that pays a shilling and derivative

that subtracts the ability to forgive,

that divides my worth

from what I deserve…

I invest— 

and you profit off the interest.

I make a mistake and you charge a fee.

But, should you error— I must let it be

 

Your words are greenbacks—

not backed by bouillon.

Gave you my heart of gold…

Vault vandalized; bonds oversold.

 

"He who is on top— takes everything..."

 

A man’s love is… merely a Ponzi Scheme...

 

'cuz in this world…Pride…is King.
