Hypocrites

The truest thing I’ve found
Is that no one cares
They all may say they do
But who is really there?
I’d drive to get away
But it’s like i get followed
They’ll never change
And I know they won’t tomorrow

I wish i could just let it go
But it seems there’s no way I can
They talk like words can’t shatter
And they just don’t understand
They drive you to the hard stuff
The hate and the booze
But give me a reason why I shouldn’t
There’s nothing left to lose

I don’t need to hear
That it will be okay
It’s just what everyone says
To pretend to escape
I don’t need your sympathy
Or your fake apology
I’d rather be alone
Than be-friend my enemies

Hypocrites
All of you are
Thinking they’re so much greater
Why can’t I just die out with the stars

If I can let go
Then why couldn’t you give up?
You still talk shit
And it’s really fucked me up
Now you’ve got me sitting here
Wondering why life’s not what i thought
Why i’m seeming to fail
And that seems to get you off

Why can’t I just be brainwashed?
Or why can’t my mind pretend
That none of it really matters
When no one really wins
Waking up is defeating
My only friend’s name is Despair
I can feel my heart beating
But it’s not really there

But I don’t need your encouragement
‘Cause you’ll never understand
You tell me that this life is worth living
But you’ve never felt how I am
So go your own way
Just do your best to keep your mouth closed
I hope that one day
The real you is exposed

Hypocrites
All of you are
Thinking they’re so much greater
Why can’t I just die out with the stars
