Hubris and Blue Devils

Hah, sentiments and nostalgia I wanted more Inertia and apathy Never swayed the gods of war Hah, me, the adversary Antagonist to timely men Was I not my own worst enemy With ambitions of a worthy opponent? No time for disillusions I had lost to them before This time, I wanted more I wanted more Perfumed discourse Hollow convictions Moderation and humility Coalitions Cloak and dagger The ambiguous nature of loyalty In ennui, I turned my head To confide in the dead Hah, these contemporaries Leeches on the blood of prosperity The impotence of their sobriety It was time to heed my daemon's call No time for disillusions I had lost to them before Hesitation and confusion I left it all behind in empty bottles on the floor A spiral of convulsion Where anger fed the shame Resentments turning back unto myself Constructing self-fulfilling prophesies again No time for disillusions I had lost to them before Hesitation and confusion I left it all behind in empty bottles on the floor, ahh! I wanted more This game of virtue and violence My willingness to sustain The suffering and exaltation The trials of pleasure and pain I wanted more, ahh! Hah, me, the adversary Antagonist to timely men Was I not my own worst enemy With ambitions of a worthy opponent? I lost to them before I would abstain no more
