contempt.

Oh, I can't pretend

To hide my deep contempt anymore

Down to my core

The alarms will sound

My heart has broken down

And I know that yours won't last

'Cause at the end of the day

You and I, we're not that different

And though it hurts me to say

In a way, you are quite brilliant

Averting their gaze

With endless smokescreens and haze

Committing to memory the lines of your play

Every day, we lie victim to indifference

A constant barrage

An act, a scare mirage

It's a thin and weak camouflage

What comfort does it bring

Knowing no one's listening

When you act, when you speak, when you sing?

'Cause at the end of the day

You and I, we're not that different

We're both just making our way

Through our long, futile existence

Ignoring the pain

Before accepting our fate

A life's just a memory proceeding a wake

And we both know that we won't leave an imprint

We played our part

We played the whole damn cast

We thought that everyone would applaud us

But once time had passed

Our scripted hearts could barely follow the flowchart

A thin, hollow shell is all that time could afford us

Oh, I can't pretend

That everyone can be my friend anymore

My minds grown coarser

My conscience can only take

So much more of being fake

And I can't ignore this heart ache

'Cause at the end of the day

Everything you say is bullshit

And I've been racking my brain

To decipher what lies through it

We're one and the same

We're both deflecting the blame

We keep up appearences to hide all the pain

But today, I'm the only one left conscious

My mind has wasted away

Trying to keep you at bay

But now the hostility has shown me the way

I can learn from the ones I find obnoxious
