HEROIC VILLIAN

Brent Allen Psycho 1983 (Phoenix Az)



In the darkness of day
I'll hide in plain sight
Remain as I disappear
Into the warmth of night
Sweating from the Frozen breeze
Clutching the trigger of the knife
Vile thoughts in my peaceful mind
Death is the only true life
Understand the incomprehensible
Free Will as a price
Existence is hideously beautiful
Hate is what makes me nice
Heroic is the villain
Glory in my shame
You all laugh because I'm different
I laugh because you're all the same


    By Brent Allen PSYCHO
