Seeing Is Deceiving

i feel so ugly inside

it feels like i lost my mind

it feels like i'm so mean and dumb

i don't even feel like i'm someone


i'm a monster at my best

creating yet another mess

lying, cheating, causing stress

hating, deceiving, unfriendliness- nahh


for my troubles, i have only myself to blame

it's all in my head, i'm the only one playing

but this is life. this is not a game.

i'm so gullible when you start naming names


for seeing your mistakes, i'm obviously deranged

psychopathic and out to blame

clueless in a life so perfectly sweet

it wasn't my fault people saw you two meet...


my troubles are small, but i want to say something out loud

keep walking around all haughty and proud

get caught up and tangled in your pleasure

cheating will help you lose, what it is that you might treasure

"I'm so gullible when you start naming names." <-- that hit hard for me. A good reminder in your ending too. Nice work.
