You're delusional,

You're over critical,

You're too stubborn,

And too cynical,

Self critical,

Struggling to be an individual,

You're not interesting or different,

You're just typical,

You have the tools but just ain't fixable,


You dress to impress but just let us down,

You're a therapist but god you need one now,

You're a soldier and the trauma is just a scream or shout,

You're a traveler but all you're doing is chasing clouds,


You've got a short fuse,

Win or lose,

You want to be popular by likes and views,

And if we refuse,

Oh what will you do,

You'll go pointing round the finger just to accuse,

It's just a dumb excuse,

You are to blame,

We're all tearing ourselves apart but you stay the same,

This is life man,

This ain't no game,

We can't all make money, getting drugs and fame,


You're a liar,

And a deceiver,

I'm not surprised that your girl chose to leave ya,

If I was someone else then I wouldn't wanna be ya,

But I am and I'll look at my reflection and see ya,

Are you a believer,

Or a quitter,

Your mind is rotten but your body's getting fitter,

You're not a quitter,

You're not a liar,

And remember there's no smoke without the fire,


You're all to blame,

Take responsibility,

It's the most powerful drug to reach tranquility,

See this negativity,

What you did to me,

All this stuff that you were too blind to see,

That's what you did to me,

Cos you are me.
