Perverse Symbology

Why's it always the worst
That think that they're the best
No one to root for
When everyone's a mess
It's hard to see
And easy to forget
There's no heroes
Or at least there's none that's left

It's all perverse symbology
They think that they know everything
Analogies that nothing bring
They speak in faulty simile

Behind a lot of great men
Are things they left behind
In the shadows
Where many cowards hide
The cowards think
That they've been victimized
When really they
Have been the match to light

It's all perverse symbology
Deluded men think many things
Analogies that nothing bring
Like boys who cry out "wolf" they sing

It's all perverse symbology
They think that they know everything
Equivocate themselves with things
When they know not of what they speak
