User Mentality

Gimme, gimme, gimme
Take, take, take
But when it's time to give,
"I don't have it. Not today"

The only giving I know
Is when others give to me
Forget other people
It's all about my needs

If you have what I want
I'll do what I can
Just to allure you,
Then trap you like quick sand

I lie and I lie,
I cheat and I cheat
Whatever it takes
I have no integrity

My craft is manipulation
My heart is a black hole
The only thing I care about
Is the image I uphold

I pretend to be nice
And I appear to be sweet
But that's just an act
I'm corrupted with greed

I'm warped in evil
Spoiled to the core
It's never enough
I always want more

I'm the center of the universe
Everything revolves around me
I'm the most important thing
To ever live and breathe

I'm the sun and the moon,
The stars and the sky
When it comes to personality,
I'm Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Why am I like this?
Don't ask me
I guess God made me selfish
With a user mentality
