Selfish

Say, what drives a narcissist to feed on their soul

Their own being, their whole, a cannibalistic role

I fold, into the answers that have never been told

Because I disagree that life is less than silver or gold

 

When I was young I was 'old', wiser than age would suggest

I never looked from a problem I never strayed from a test

I sought to better my self, pushing others away

Rising alone but never understanding how I would pay

 

Now look today and see a fate that I crafted off a clean slate

Into a plate of half consumed variables that I never ate

Or even paid any attention effectively painting dissention

And not to mention my descent into a mental detention

 

I locked my self in a prison of a dozen complications

A box full of games, puzzles and some mindless sedation

No relation to pain, bottomless gain and no patience

I snap at every ******* body for the beast I am facing

 

Imagine that you have a paper with some scribbles and lines

Now try erasing the marks so the paper's perfect - just try

It's impossible because you pretend to leave the past

There's always something there to make a scar that will last

 

So now because of my choices I sit alone with these voices

Saying "you could do better", to me they're nothing but noises

So now I write my emotions so that the world might just hold 'em

Just ignoring commotion 'cause you can pass 'em or smoke 'em
