lyrics

I despise you
For being everything you're not,
For pretending instead of facing the lies.
So deal with your life,
Don't interfere in mine.
I despise you,
And I wish you were far.

You think you're a step ahead and you're better than every one.
You think you found your way so you're not lost anymore.
But it's not that crystal clear,
Your sudden recovery can't hide the fact that
You don't even know what you've done.
You speak for others who you try to impersonate,
But you're so blind
And you don't even see the damage.

I'm as selfish as you, but I don't claim I'm not.
You're blind and you're deaf, I only wish you were dumb.
You've put so many faces that you can't even take on.
You're a lie, you're a joke, you're fraud and a scum.

You've ruined my nerves and my empty stomach.
I'm so pissed that I shake ; I stayed awake all the night.
Makes me sick to think we shared the same ideals
For which you can't stand for, cause you don't even feel
What you've done to me.

I live with myself, work out my discrepancies.
I suggest you do the same and you don't mess with me.
Don't try to lecture me, please don't patronize me,
I can't stand no more your fake sincerity

During your quest, of forging yourself some new identities,
You fought it gave you the right to pretend you care and you got ethics
But you don't, no you don't, you don't care.
You're an easy friend, but the trust can't hold the lies.
You say you stand for the victims, you're a sensitive boy...
But you hurt every one 'round you,
Disappoint every one 'round you,
You lie to every one 'round you.
