you could say a lot of things about me, some of which would be true
but before you cast the first stone, make sure your house isn't see through
Gnawed at my insecurities, the ones I've tried so hard to beat back
It's hard to keep the demons in check when you feel under attack
I watch you even when you think I don't, a fire in my eyes
Just when you think you have me figured out, I'll take you by surprise
There's no box you can put me in, despite what you may have been told
Nor label to pin me down, I've broken every mold
I know what I am, and I know what I'm not
So if you think you can get one over on me, I dare you to take your best shot
I'm better at my worst, then you are at your best
Try to challenge me, I'll embarrass you like the rest
This exterior is thick, but my patience is wearing thin
Too many fools and liars, competing to get under my skin
And still some days I'm in that mirror hiding my face
Look into my eyes and you see the memories I haven't managed to erase
One by one I've watched countless people make their Devil's deal
Seems these days the price at which souls are sold is a steal
Are you really so dumb as to think I don't know what you do?
Look inward next time you contemplate why our friendship is through
My friendship is not bought or sold, there's no price you can pay
I've seen the company you've invited into the bed in which you lay
I chuckle to myself. It's hilarious you think I don't know.
To others your song and dance is probably a great show
Keep telling yourself it's impossible, no way I could figure you out
I'm content to sit and watch your mind play tricks on your doubts
