🪦⚰️🪦⚰️🪦
I Once Had A Reputation
But Now It Is Dead And Gone
Lies And Rumour Killed It Dead
⚰️🪦⚰️
Now My Name Is No More
No One Will Speak It
Except In Black Disdain
⚰️🪦⚰️
John Wayne Gacey Has Nothing On Me
Except He Still Has Fans
Bot Notoriety Does Get You Noticed
⚰️🪦⚰️
Winston Churchill Said
A Lie Flies Round The World
Before The Truth Gets Its Trousers On
⚰️🪦⚰️
People Will Rather Believe An Emphasised Lie
Than Make A Little Effort
To Seek Out The Real Truth
⚰️🪦⚰️
Like A Shattered Glass Table
My Reputation Lies Dying In Bits
Something That Can Never Be Fixed
⚰️🪦⚰️
It Is Now Long Gone
That Make Me So Sad
So I Must Soldier On
⚰️🪦⚰️
Alone
🪦⚰️🪦⚰️🪦
