Another day, another day.Here comes another day.No time to sit.No time to play.Here I am,Trying to live my life,And there you are,Slaying with a knife.I can see your sins.They cover your hands.Dust covers your clothesAnd all over the land.I can't sit back,Can't let this continue,But it doesn't matter what I do.You do and you do.I've watched you fight.Spared no one in sight.What you're doingJust isn't right.Blade in hand,You make your way to the top,Ready to take over everythingWith all the pain you've brought.I don't know if I can stop you.I don't think I can stop you.I won't be able to stop you.I know I can't stop you.I thought I could trust you.Your smile seemed sincere.You shook my hand.I thought I had nothing to fear.Do you know what?I'm not scared.I've faced more.I've come prepared.My inner demons come.I have nowhere to run.With fear, I am overcome, By all the things that I've done.Stand in this hall,Ready to give my all.I see the hatred in your eyes,But I will not fall.I thought I saw them,The pal I once knew.But what I see,I know it's not you.Please, buddy,Just let this end.I know you're in there.I can feel you, my friend.Why do you even bother?What can you gain?Do you crave power?Like killing one after the other?If I were you,I'd just quit.Just give up.I did.You're a dirty cheat,Waiting until I'm beat.You come at me.A distasteful defeat.I look downAt blood covered bones.You're getting your way.You've claimed the throne.Guess we're done here.You got me.I'm a little hungry.I'm going to Grillby's.As I'm leaving, I see him.He's standing there, waiting for me.Maybe this isn'tThe worst place to be.He embraces me,My tears overflow.He makes me happierThan you'll ever know.I take his handAnd begin to lead him.Away from real lifeAnd from your sin.Papyrus, do you want anything?
