Not What It Seems - Penance

You pretend to be my friend

But you can’t make that which isn’t real

You fill your mind with facts

But you will never get the feel

It’s not quite right

You’re not what you seem

One part false

Two parts obscene

Back stabbing hypocrite

Won’t let you scandalize my name

You want my confidence

But no two things you say are ever the same

You’re not quite right

It’s not what it seems

Social status

Human obscene

Yours is no sacrifice

It’s all a worthless slice

Of conversation for the day

Mine is paradise

Upon which there is no price

Of that you mock and betray

And you’re telling me

What it is I need

I don’t have a clue

How can you?

I know what’s real

Or at least I can feel

Vengeance is mine

In due time
