Deception

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
