Wellll talked to an old friend,
and what she said disquieted me.

i hadnt forgotten
i just didnt want to remember you.

to see you trip and fall, and fail, would make me smile.

like looking at two sides of an ugly coin,
one a snake, the other unidentifiable.
your original design has been obscured.
and nothing's ever gonna get that tarnish off.

where did it come from?
is it running thru your veins,
like your parents pray at night?

the tarnish that only seems
to stick to souls like yours?

no, it was there all along,
you were always vacant,
nothing behind your eyes
nothing behind your words
nothing behind your emotions
nothing in your hearts.

i could see it in your eyes.

itll taken awhile
but thats okay.

youll have to slip up somehwere,
and youll slide,
all the way down.

cuz now your tripping and falling, and failing,

and im smiling.
