[SIMON, spoken]
Alright
Hi folks, hi guys!
My name’s Simon

[Simon bends down as he screams]

[SIMON]
Once again, I must rely
On nobody
Once again, I must remind myself
Of the people

Traitorous bastards
Who let me down
And I know that it’s
Not your fault really

But I can’t help the resentment
Building inside my heart
I can feel it burning
It consumes all in the end

Never trust a hand no matter
Who extends
Should I be surprised that after
Trusting them

Promptly doom
Impends
I’m unaccompanied
Adrift in an infinite sea

How
How can I learn to trust
What’s left of the world
If what’s left is me

I’m waiting
To join you in insanity
Lonely is the
Sane mentality

Once again
I lose my faith in the love
Humanity, fuck you
All of you

Fuck you respectfully
God, I can’t wait to be dead
Or out of this
Nightmare dimension at least

Unlikely since it seems as if
I’m responsible for your lives
It all comes down
To me
