Your drug is lies
You clothe weakness in disguise
What does it gain you?
An addiction to pride.
Yeah you're indifferent
As long as "they" are to you
When they stop, anger leaks through.
You promise the world
Which you know can't come through
Who gave all those rights to you?
You've hurt so much
And pretend not to care
But recently you're looking a little worse for the wear
All that's inside, the things you try to hide
Will unbound publicized
With this addiction to pride.
But you'll never be broken
With all your walls built through-and-through
For you, humility's impossible
No, even if it'll save you.
Yet you think you're the master
True, almost all think you're sweet and "ok"
But those that care most
You just push them all away.
Despite the fronts you put up
I know you're lonely inside
Surrounded by "friends"
But tortured with this facade caused by pride.
Your addiction
Will bring you nothing inside.
