People live in lies and in falsehoods
Give them time and they will try to
Demean
Degrade
Depart from you
Living lies that they claim true
Can you rightfully say
With all the compassion in your heart
That if you look your friend in the eye
And see the troubles that he goes through
Would you really care
Would you rightfully pay
Or sacrifice any sense of counterpart
And not try to sluggishly walk by
Between you and your friend that you value
Can you say you really care
All people that I respect
Use it as an advantage in life
Try to gain my trust
Then give to me some rust
Some sort of substance that doesn't fit right
Some sort of object that leaves me in lust
Of something better that I can't expect
But all these friends leave my expectations amongst
That of a value that's not worth a single gust
Of wind breezing through the air
I can barely withhold myself
Suddenly becoming greedy I must
Find some way I can keep steady
And not lose my head over some people being petty
I must live above that
People live in lies and in falsehoods
Give them time and they will try to
Demean
Degrade
Depart from you
Living lies that they claim true
Imagine being insecure about the place in your life
The way you function makes you wonder if you're alright
Wondering if those you care about would really ride or die
Even with all your flaws
Then when you get the nerve to work on those flaws
Instead of just procrastinating along in your life
You meet someone who to you is the ideal wife
The type of person you'd spend all night
Talking to about your problems and they'd say it's alright
I like you for you, and I'm really being truthful
They build you up to be someone that you'd might
See in the future being right with other like-minded people
And that they'd support you cause they have similar goals in life
So when they breaks ties with you it just makes the fall worse
It makes you wonder where you went wrong
Are my standards too strong
Am I in the wrong
Thoughts start feeling strong
Then you crash and you feel so ripped apart
So ripped apart
People live in lies and in falsehoods
Give them time and they will try to
Demean
Degrade
Depart from you
Living lies that they claim true
These thoughts of mine
Give all of my time to those that I envy
Every waking moment of my life met wondering
If those around me handle my life with as much care
As I would for them
Part of me thinks that others deceive me with personalities
Of fake trust and fake love and I blindly follow along
I come home crying wondering why these kids despise my intentions
Of providing a sort of care to their world as they use me for many
Different reasons
Makes me feel as though I'm doing too much while doing too little
For these people that I blindly believe are good people
I say second chances but I wonder if I give too many
I... I
I... I
I... I
I... I
I... I
I must have values that I can say
That I grew up right and have a son that can say
"My dad is my idol"
My mind is lying idle
Broken, swollen up
I must think of a way to bust
This feeling of solitude
Where I feel like my friends are being crude
Or that I feel unsteady that I'm maybe
Just maybe
Not good enough
But
What you did to me got me scarred
Broken bar-ed mind with illiterate thoughts
Thinking of past memories that I had not forgotten
Now I got ten good memories that I wish I hadn't bought with time
It only gets tougher
It only gets tougher
Why did I have to get blinded by your bright side
To truly see your deceitful mind
