Brave the Rain

All support the system of denied hypocrisy
 Blackened auras justify the selling out of dignity
 Set the stage, manipulation the double-dealers sow
 Kiss of Judas on my soul
 Look out below
 Bitter winds are blowing
 Freeze the rain upon your back
 It's so hard to walk alone in constant fear of their attack
 But never mind the barking, for their rotten teeth can't bite
 Affectation and decay devour from inside
 Pretense and imitation
 Birthright of all alive
 Some reek of ostentation
 Knowing they'll never thrive
 Dissimulations posturing behind your cloak
 The shameless hands embracing you in facade then slit your throat
 Double-dealer from the gutter
 Double-dealer from the mire
 Take a good, hard look at me now living out what you desire
 Underhanded cunning, bastardized duplicity
 Leave a bitter taste behind, afterbirth of treachery
 Circumvent the subterfuge with vengeance and disdain
 Put your boots and jackets on and brave the rain
