So much anger and rage
Engulfs my body whole
Can’t release the tension and fury
How was I ever to know?

No tools provided to diminish
A path of vile and vain
Here I bask in my own misery
As you continue to be sane

I hate the very sight of you
And your precious mental state
I hate all your ambition and drive
While I struggle against this fate

Let’s trade places today
So you can pretend to be me
I wonder how long you’ll last
When you’re finally able to see

See the anger, madness and rage
Through your very own eyes
I wonder how much ambition you’ll have
As you plan your final farewell goodbye
