Upon this very night I've had a pleasant first in my life! I have laughed so fervently that tears have left my eyes

A silly thing I know, barely a spectacle let alone a show, but that's just the way my life seems to go

Because I'm fraying at the seems with all this weight that's crushing me

But it was nice to feel the breath squeezed out of me, to laugh and laugh and laugh until I could only wheeze

When the stoic starts to smile, you know its been eating him a while

When those calm clouds on the horizon grumble of coming storm, you know that when it hits you'll regret the day you's born

The dam is overfull and cracking fit to blow, the sleeping giants start stirring under blankets of snow

And all Hell is getting fit to break loose, because an oft grumpy man is now a silly goose

The mask of outer calm I wear in worn clear down to threadbare, and through the growing cracks you see a glimpse within to hungry beast

My peace has been destroyed and no sternly-worded letter shall suffice, indulging in spasmodic bloodlust is staring to look rather nice

Because I am owed my pound of flesh, I tried playing nice but you keep begging for death

And I'm sorely tempted to oblige, regrettably you life is not worth mine

I have to walk away yet again, because its ALWAYS me who has to be the bigger man.

Never once will you fucking twats defer to me, you simply strut about in arrogant ignorant idiocy

The fact of the matter you're too fucking stupid to see, is that I've been trying to help you

The reward for my selfish selflessness? The past three months of the absolute shit I've been through...

I was right not to trust you and I won't let you dictate the terms of my life!

You're supposed to be my elder, stop acting like you're fucking five!
