Narcissus

Solo

Caught in the headlamp glare

Of your own blinding vanity

Mesmerized by the stare

Of your shallow personality

Gorging the junk food of flattery

You drag your fat ego around

Everyone floored by the battering

You give to whoever's around

Solo

Trapped in the personal hell

Of your own desperate addiction

Frightened that others can tell

Of your expensive affliction

With your happiness based on a chemical

You wax lyrical with words so profound

When your indulgence reaches that level

It's safest not to be around

Oh Narcissus, you petulant child

Admiring yourself in the curve of my eyes

Oh Narcissus, you angel beguiled

Unsated by self, you do nothing but die

Wrapped in the transparent lies

Of your desperate situation

You expound on imaginary ties

Expecting us to believe them

In the absence of concrete commitment

You've all the attention that money can buy

Not caring that those who still love you

Are callously thrown to one side

Oh Narcissus, you petulant child

Admiring yourself in the curve of my eyes

Oh Narcissus, you angel beguiled

Unsated by self, you do nothing but die

Oh Narcissus, you treacherous child

Admiring yourself in the curve of my eyes

Oh Narcissus, you angel beguiled

Unsated by self, you do nothing but die

Hey you dog man, whelp of a litter of scavengers

Bolting the flesh of your victims

With a ravenous greed

You work with your siblings up to a point

'Til your ego is sated or your wallet fulfilled

Jealously guarding the bones of your kill

With a malice that's born out of fear

Running with the pack, your defense is to attack

But I detect you in your stealth

Because you've rolled in your own filth

You hope to gain my trust with your cowardly disguise

Whispering such confidences, my revulsion to a wreck

You call yourself a friend, you call yourself a friend

And when I turn my back, your fangs will feel my neck

What is your domain but a barn

Where your runts roll in the reek?

You would seek to steal my freedom and have branded me a freak

I want nothing of your snarling mongrel strain

Your smarmy doggerel lies

And if these words have singed your fur

Consider yourself a whipped cur

Solo

Solo

Gorging the junk food of flattery

You haul your fat ego around

Everyone's floored by the battering

You give to whoever's around

Oh Narcissus, you petulant child

Admiring yourself in the curve of my eyes

Oh Narcissus, you angel beguiled

Unsated by self, you do nothing but die
