Truths

I take care of my own 

but will not take responsibility 

for being anyone's bad influence. 

Don't try to keep up with me

but keep friends in low places. 

Play your hand close to your chest. 

Let them underestimate you.  

You know thyself,

and are clever enough 

to feed candy to the stupid people. 

We are Vikings,

we carry the torches

when the masses require light

to stay on the course of least resistance. 

I will no longer tell anyone 

to never lose hope,

because you can be robbed of all hope;

your soul vandalized

and your character assassinated 

when it's not your fault. 

There are big truths 

and small ones of the master plan. 

Tell the greater actuality 

and show your war paint. 

Never blame anyone for your choices,

we're all damaged goods to someone. 

I can make you unabashedly happy. 

I promise I will be your lullaby. 

Judge me because you're not the same,

and you're the fatuous believing lies.
