The Rot

To be yourself for once
Have seemed too simple
Your egotistic tone
Became your symbol

What have you done for those
Who knew you from the start?
The fight came to a close
Your pride has gone too far

The rot
It's always been there
But now it's gone too far
Where do I even start
Explaining

My friend
You're forgetting
We aren't strangers after all
I'll stay to watch you fall
Don't thank me

And though I wish you well
God knows that I have tried
I came to help
But stayed to watch you lie

Tell me, did it ever cross your mind
That you've lost everything you had?

The rot
It's always been there
But now it's gone too far
Where do I even start
Explaining

My friend
You're forgetting
We aren't strangers after all
I'll stay to watch you fall
Don't thank me

My friend
You're forgetting
We aren't strangers after all
I'll take over your throne
Believe me
