Your eyes are cold and cruel
Seeking out the weak and helpless
Your tongue is a cracking whip
Your words the stinging lashes
You're crowned the king of sadism
Your loyal minions clap and jeer
When was your last real laugh
Have you ever truly smiled
What are you hiding
Who hurt you first
Who put out your soul
And made you inhuman
Why do you only destroy
How long does the pleasure last
Does it make you truly happy
When you tear into your prey
Does it satiate your hunger
The thirst you can't assuage
You keep coming back for more
Since one attack can't be near enough
You're drowning in yourself
A titanic wreck of malice
You pick out everyone else's flaws
Because you can't live with your own
You're a black hole of insecurity
Collapsed in on yourself
Perhaps someday you'll learn
That inflicting wounds on others
Won't take your pain away
