I woke up on the wrong side of the board today
To find that I was robed in black
Always was the white knight to honor and obey
And guard my house from blind attack
It turns out that I have no business in such clothes
Designed for those who know the truth
Honesty's a grey-hued element of oaths
And empathy should die with youth
I'm not cut out to be human
No sleeves up which tricks can hide
My heart is bared and illuminated
I show my gambits with pride
Pieces on my new side are fallin' down in droves
I'm cornered each way that I face
The lightest ones among us deal the strongest blows
And my steadfast ground is givin' way
Altruism was my suit, my shield, my sword
Transparency my coat of arms
But traits like that will get ya bludgeoned, pierced, and gored
The animal that's born of harm awakens
I'm not cut out to be human
No skin off which barbs can fly
My teeth are bared and they're salivatin'
Is this how most go through life?
The tiles have shapelessly crumbled
Crushed by these fiends in disguise
Now the beast in me lumbers forward
And so the world must abide
My roar
