My Old Best Mate Is a Psychopath

Maybe you’re a psychopath 
you certainly have the traits 
I find it disconcerting 
the picture that it paints 

I know you better than all the rest 
They don’t believe what I suggest 
They think you’re such a lovely fella 
and I’m seen as a storyteller 

It doesn't really bother me 
if they hear it then it must be 
as when I spoke it came after you 
and the first story they hear is true 

You spoke first and you spoke well 
You told them that I story tell 
I'm like oh dear I'm like oh well 
but confident time will prevail

That superficial charm you have 
there at first but never lasts 
Project yourself as grandiose 
no one compares nobody close 
A need to stimulate your mind 
delusional points of view you find 
Pathological lying mate 
that must be your greatest trait 
you gloat and pride yourself this way 
annoyed though when I state it’s fake 
Manipulation is your game 
Jedi Mind tricks mate you’re lame 
I play you time and time again 
then I refuse you go insane 
Parasitic living freely 
so expectant always needy 
Now you don’t have short term lovers 
embarrassed by your tiny rubber 
if it was bigger girls above ya 
but you detest those one night buggers
and lastly you’re never to blame 
accountability brings you shame 
you'll even go as far to claim 
lies of others that you'll name 

Now that’s 7 out of 8 psycho traits 
and I’ve seen a side no one relates 
they don’t believe the things I say 
you’ve conned them all the psycho way 

I thought you were just a narcissist 
but I’ve seen your heart how dark it is 
If I warn people who don’t believe me 
they live ignorant and they live freely 

I guess they just don’t realise 
I tell the truth and you tell lies
boy are they in for a suprise 
now stay the fook out of my life
