they say you are self centered
that you draw the darkness around you
to drag the light and audience close
and the truth is,
they don't lie with their words
you are self centered
not in the way you believe
you belong on a podium
but in the way
you will do anything
to hurt yourself
and anyone who wanders too close

they say you are self centered
that you draw the darkness around you
to drag the light and audience close
and the truth is,
they don't lie with their words
you are self centered
not in the way you believe
you belong on a podium
but in the way
you will do anything
to hurt yourself
and anyone who wanders too close
a conversation with the person in the mirror
