You talk of knowing but the reality is you're blind
I'm stronger than you'll ever be, with your I'm so great and your woe is me
I'm braver than you'll ever be, with your refusal to love and your great arms length
I love without limits, while you don't even know how
You purport yourself to be this great and gentle creature
But what's really underneath is nothing short of treason
All I wanted was to believe in your greatness
But you just kept proving you wrong
You spout your stolen profound words that cannot penetrate your shallow mind
Your manipulations build to immeasurable heights
And your fallacious grandeur crumbles when how you truly are comes to light
With your specious arguments that hold no weight you try to reconcile your odious behavior
You boast of brilliance while you leave everyone behind
You cling to delusional ideals while you brand yourself a master
With your pomp and attitude, tossing everyone aside
The universe cringes when you speak of unlocking its secrets
The stars you claim to know, shine down and laugh at you so
The wonders of the world won't bow to a sophist
There is no divinity in you, all you know is how to be cruel
You never understood that an investment in love was an investment in life
And my investment in you was so ill placed, everything I lost is much too great
You're befuddled and disinterested, you mask your confusion
Your megalomania the key to keeping you afloat
In your narcissistic pond where you think you walk on water
I will no longer see myself through your eyes, your version of me so askew
I let you do all and make me, that was my own tragic mistake
But you're betrayal will not define me no matter how hard you tried to keep me down
The truth is I'm the phoenix and you're just the ash
You'll always be trapped in your self imposed cage
While I'm out there flying free
