You were clearly skeptical about me
Contemporary villains share my face
I'm not the lecherous scoundrel; you'll see
Time has eaten what I once had of grace

Of suave flirtation and charming nonsense
I am fresh out; a swarm of cold echoes
Haunts the grave of so many temptations
You will know it when fragrant, firm youth goes

And fun you used to make is made of you
Your smile does seem sincere though, and you bring
An end to hunger, thirst and silence; do
Look at these strange marks I made on nothing

They are your fingerprints on my old mind
Humoring ancient nerds is very kind
