Honest Iago

Just like Honest Iago
My life is a sham
I wear my heart on my sleeve
I am not what I am

The blood and baseness of our natures
Conduct us to most horrible conclusions
I play devil's advocate to my enemies
Who just happen to also be my friends
To get ever closer to the object of my revenge

//I must know his soul
To let him know
He affected me so//

If I'm not what I seem
That makes me less than nothing
Rejection burst my heart, I lost half my soul
Abhore me if I ever dreamed it so

//I just want to bring you down so badly//

There may be some enemy in my mouth
To steal away my brain
To spy things that are not is my nature's plague
Some souls must be saved
Some souls must not be saved

You think of me so well
You never suspect it is all lies I tell
Generalities and pronoun games
I say what I think you need to hear
So in order that I get my way

I am all of the above friend
Blessed objectivity
I put things in perspective
When emotion clouds it
(Aha! another double standard!)

I am but a servant for conveniance
A slave to pomp && circumstance
So terrible with the opposite sex
We're so terrible with people
I am nothing if not critical

I lie to the truth
A method to better revenge on you

An underachiever with grandiose dreams
Just like Honest Iago, I am not what I seem
My soul attends to my own peculiar end
I know no love, I'll love no friend
I think you think I love you
Give me what I want, I am yours forever

"O, Spartan dog," you say, "'tis happiness to die."
Like Honest Iago, I live to see the fruit of my lies
The end of five short lives
This tragic load is mine
"I hope," they say, "I hope you're satisfied!"

What you know, you know; from here on
I'll not speak a word
"More fell than anguish, hunger, or the sea!"
I just want to bring you down so badly
&& you rose above me!

I never lost so much
