The con man

Before the thorns there was gold,

and a con man was born,

so sneaky he fooled them all.

He conned them out of their hearts and souls.

So sneaky, he didn't even spell his own name right.

So sneaky he fooled himself.

He conned himself into believing he could be someone he wasn't.

One day, the con man messed up,

and his world fell apart around him.

He knew his life as her was over,

and the con man set himself free.
