Look at me, aren't I so cool?
I can laugh at you, make you feel like a fool.
While you're looking up, I'm looking down.
I see you there, small on the ground.
At any moment I can make your heart turn around.
It's that sliver of kindness within me that you found.
It keeps you from leaving, thirsting for more.
It keeps you from walking out of that door.
I can shut my emotions off at any time.
I can make you forget, I can make you blind.
I will lie to your face with absolutely no expression.
I don't care if I leave you with a false impression.
I do this all to protect myself.
How am I supposed to know what you're all about?
Guilty until proven innocent.
Can't trust anyone without knowing their true intent.
