Two-faced wolves in my best friend’s clothing.
I look through my pockets so I could stop choking.
Would a tithing help me make it through this round?
These predators are quiet and their silence makes a sound.
The morning is approaching with its hefty promise –
I run to the west, I rush towards the congress.
Here the sun raises later and betrayal never stings.
The wolves choke on rivals while others plead to kings.
Wire-Eyes zooming in as I fall down on my knees.
He’s been waiting for a chance to politely cease
The suffering this city pours onto tampered hearts,
And I’m his favorite because I never play it smart.
Disheartened I crawl in a corner, sit on the icy floor.
My best friends come rushing through the locked door.
Just two-faced wolves in my best friend’s clothing.
I look through my pockets so I could stop choking.
