People Just Like You

Sitting in the back of the room Crying over a 'Rooster' A little humility Will do you some good You're not the best anymore Or were you at all? Head stuck in the clouds Oblivious to who you hurt Not in the lead? You take everyone down with you No one feels sorry Really they're celebrating But still they're there Patting you on the back Feeding you lies Telling you that you deserve better When really You don't So when someone spills the truth You find yourself devastated Because for once in your life Someone isn't comforting you They spout their opinion And their opinion isn't yours Her words burn in your mind They circle in your brain all day You're angry You're upset You don't understand that you can be wrong Oh how the mighty have fallen Or that's what they say You lie on the ground Scared and confused What can you do? Not accept the truth No! Why would you do that? Truth is lies Lies are truth That's how life goes Around and around A continuous circle of fallacy And you're caught up in it You can't break free You don't even try Why would you? People will feed you deceit And try their best to make it true So keep going with your life Let the lies consume you Condemn yourself to Hell You'll like it there It's full of people Just like you
