YOU DON'T even know you're getting tricked though

You stumble and you mumble through the clouds and the snow

Though it's unlikely you can break the code

Why would you say no? You should've said no.

I'm not gonna tell you what you should've say'd

A lifetime of debt you already twice paid

Reasonable creatures ain't how heroes are made

Trade your life for bewitched time and jade

Jaded, I can see your eyes

See your soul through your amber disguise

Don't give me your emerald lies,

You will end up trapped in a ruby vise

I was never in the running for the prize

I'm an asshole, but you're so calm and fake

Reaching your goals, leaving death in your wake

Give up now, for your own sake

Cynical and logical shan't heroes make

Oh, you say I'm just jealous

That isn't true, you're overzealous

If I failed to make it, then no one should

You should back off, just because

I was never, never, never, never

Never in the running

for the prize
