Requiem
The Artifact Lyrics

Your world is made up of poison and failure
You are surrounded by negativity and disappointment, there is nothing positive in your life.

My world is made from the glory of victory
My life is full of achievements and triumphs that have brought me happiness and success.

You tried to get inside my head
You attempted to manipulate and control my thoughts and emotions.

With every hateful word you said
You spoke with malice, conveying a message of violence and destruction.

You thought that you could break me down
You believed that you had the power to weaken my spirit and resolve.

But you're out muscled
Your attempts to overpower me have failed.

And this house we built is made for men
Our foundation was built on strength and resilience, not weakness and failure.

Now I said it before and I'll say it again
I have expressed this sentiment previously and will continue to reiterate it.

You're just a boy who never learned
You are an immature individual who has failed to gain wisdom from life experiences.

When to shut your mouth
You lack the ability to recognize when it is appropriate to remain silent.

Something inside of me
I have an internal intuition or feeling.

Tells me I should have known
I regret not recognizing the true nature of your character sooner.

You'd be the one to let the pressure
You are the cause of the tension and conflict that has arisen between us.

Change who you are
Your actions and behavior have caused a fundamental shift in your personality.

You're such a victim of every choice you've made
You have been negatively impacted by your own decisions and actions.

Pointing fingers at your friends
You are blaming others for your own mistakes and failures.

I never thought that you could be
Your behavior and actions were unexpected and surprising.

The one who'd turn your back on me
You have betrayed my trust and abandoned our friendship.

And do the kind of things you did
Your actions were hurtful and destructive.

And every word that you said
Your words were a reflection of your character and intentions.

I hope you know, they didn't mean that much to me
Your words did not carry weight or have a lasting impact on me.

I'll just pretend that you're dead
I will mentally and emotionally distance myself from you.

Someone I used to know
You were once a part of my life, but that is no longer the case.

I'll never let you get to me
Your actions and words will no longer affect me or my emotions.

If you don't see that you've started
You are the root cause of the conflict and problems between us.

This all on your own
You brought about this situation by your own actions and choices.

Then you need to think again
You must reconsider your behavior and the consequences of your actions.

I hope you're happy
Your behavior has resulted in negative consequences for yourself.

Cause this is the outcome
These are the repercussions of your actions.

For being selfish
Your actions were motivated by self-interest and you disregarded the needs of others.

Now you are alone
The consequences of your actions have resulted in isolation and abandonment.

You know you could never get inside my head
Your attempts to manipulate me have failed.

With that said, I hope I never see your face again.
I have no desire to maintain contact or a relationship with you in the future.
