I am Deceit

written by: OurSacredHonor

I'm liable to regret this
Or better yet to forget my better judgment
On this matter
And as a matter of fact
I will react way too soon
Plan my attack and make my move
I won't think twice before I speak
I won't look twice before I leap
I'll break the promises I swore I'd hold
I'll tell all the secrets I swore to keep

I am deceit
I'm your defeat
I am the hole beneath your feet
And I'll treat you like you don't deserve
The very next time we meet
So raise your glass and call a toast
To the one that you hate most...
It's me

I may never live this down
But then again who said I wanted to?
Maybe all this that you oppose
Is simply what I do
Or what I do best
Or at least try to
Just to show you
That I'm trying
Am I lying?
I don't know anymore
What is all this for?

I am deceit
I'm your defeat
I am the hole beneath your feet
And I'll treat you like you don't deserve
The very next time we meet
So raise your glass and call a toast
To the one that you hate most...
It's me

Because it's me
Because it's me
I see and I believe
It's me
