Eyes bright and statements bold
Loud steps; confidence behold
Toothy grins mark sallow lips
A huge smile for such fragile hips

Swiftly passing the aching crowd
Washing them with your dirty shroud
Eager followers touch your hand
Waiting for you to take your stand

Chest out and rigid stance
Ready to take your final chance
Scream your beliefs from the podium
Drown in your fans sweet opium

Tainted pupils stare big and bold
Loud laughter; mocking behold
Toothy grins you tried to mend
Honestly kid? For you it's the end

I wasn't entirely sure whether repeating 'toothy grins' worked. I don't think the connection between the two lines was strong enough, somehow.

'Chest out and rigid stance
Ready to take your final chance
Scream your beliefs from the podium
Drown in your fans sweet opium'.
^Those lines were so powerful; so commanding, I loved that stanza especially.

I agree with GN. I liked that verse a lot. I also like "Toothy grins mark sallow lips/ A huge smile for such fragile hips
