This game you're playing
Is not the kind you can win
Being hurt doesn't justify hurting
Life's cruelty doesn't explain your ways
This is you, always
You can shed many skins, but you can't lose yourself
The excuses run out
And your luck will follow
Your promises are hollow
And unfortunately for you
My wrath can only grow
Run little reptile, run
Writhe and thrash
Wear yourself out
Sell yourself away
I'll watch and wait
Eyes locked, senses clear
Days, months, years
Until your limping leg slows you down
And the glow in your eyes fade
I will watch and I'll wait
