I will try not to look too pleased
Maintain my composure and "cancel" jubilation
As quiescent as calm waters
You would not see, waves on frozen ice
Not even by freak of nature or by chance
Stealth mode, that is what we going for
I will not look too pleased "elastic" with ecstatic
To have you, read my cards
So open, and curse my success
But why should I not look so pleased
I started where you did and "labored" my opportunities
You buried yours, with fear and stood solid as statue
You rained your doubt on me as foolish
And said "this my friend would amount to nothing"
You predicted my downfall and said I was foolish to venture
So why should I grace you the honor
Of holding back my excitement
Just to give you, a quiet exit
To say you deserve that respect, tradition bequest it
And to avoid your curse on my success
Is that something new from your old rhetoric
It's terrible when the people we care about the most rain on our parade.
