The Lake of Hate
On the lake of failure I lay
 Looking down at the depths of resentment that's beneath
 This lake is called the lake of Selfishness
 The name that you gave it
 It's polluted with insults and cursed blood
 Toxins all around
 What once was a beautiful scene
 Is now a horrifying tomb
 
 Afloat of this lake of darkness
 I hear the norm
 "Everything with you is failure"
 "You care about no one, you're selfish"
 "You're a horrible person"
 "You will die alone"
 
 So I look down at the chain that I hold
 And I let go
 Down you go
 To the bottom of the trap you've set
 What you've created, begins to choke you
 
 This dying lake is your mark
 The death that swims underneath is all yours
 Now feel the norm
 See the pollution
 You begin to drown
 You ask for my help
 But I'm selfish, a failure, and will die alone
 So I let you sink
 Down down you go
 To the grave you've dug so long ago
 Sleep at last
 In your lake of hate
