Lord forgive me for my sins...
Sparing no sympathy
As matter of fact I'm your enemy
Craving weakness and vulnerability
Taking without giving is what my father taught me
I've had this ideology since the age of 3
Selfish actions that caused hearts to ache and bleed
Listening only to what voices told me
"Lying will accomplish what you aim to achieve"
Don't be fooled when I fill you with glee
Because I'm something more than what you see
Chasing desires and temptations carelessly
Sacrificing everything when I abandon loyalty
Presenting a sinister grin while waiting patiently
My false claims will fool into thinking this is meant to be
I take more than I give to charity
I was blind, but now I'm seeing in clarity
My name translates
To "one who never appreciates"
As a matter of fact I've forgotten your name
Because after I achieved my goal nothing was the same
Lord forgive me for my sins
For I am no more than a man
One whose image is tainted
Along with dirty hands
