Controlling Until Lonely
Is it manipulation or delusion
when you don't believe what I say
Do you want control of situations
because it's easiest your way
Only a weirdo would do that
it's so very strange
I ain't seen you for years
but you clearly ain't changed
This is why you're so confused
and don't know why we're estranged
the reality that you refuse
is unknown to your brain
A pathological liar and narcissist too,
It's probable you only see what you choose,
and that's why you tell people I left no clue,
my head filled with madness so the victim is you
But even though it's my fault
you're willing to help me get through
and you spread it like sea salt
fill opinions and minds as if it we're true
I've told you to get lost and made sure I don't see you,
you put it down to some mental collapse,
And you talk your lies motivated with a need too,
to people I cut out who never hear me speak the facts
They think we're still friends because you've made us appear to be,
and when I make it clear that I ended it years ago,
having to threaten you and offensively curse until you've a fear to see,
they think I'm weird the way you pretended to know
They've heard your story and been manipulated by it,
and only my harsh words which seem somewhat violent
And they say I've misjudged you with irrational hatred
They judge us through your lies I can leave them, you triumph
You're just a liar and lying is your achievement,
It's sad and it's dire we are completely different,
They believe you're a victim and soak up sympathy sent,
But you ain't got friends left every single one went
