would you go down just to get high
even if i told you success was just a lie

does lowering yourself really increase your pride
or does it just not even apply

one day you'll see what self respect is like
to me, you're all just ****** alike

i wish i could meet just one genuine person
whose demeanor never seemed to worsen

i'm not saying i'm totally perfect
but at least my friendship is always worth it

as my hope in humanity decreases
my effort to make amends just ceases
