Misanthropic
 
I always thought that happiness would last forever.
Apparently, I was wrong.
I always thought I was nice, fast and clever.
Apparently, I was wrong.
 
 
I believed in society,
I believed in what they said,
I’ve been through social anxiety,
Because of them, I felt internally dead.
 
But this whole time, apparently, I was wrong.
People aren’t what you see with your eyes,
They’re what you see with your heart.
 
I am unstoppable,
I am not what they make me,
I am powerful,
I am nice, fast, clever, and I am free.
I am my own unique self,
I am a victim of society.
 
Walking on the streets, I see no love, peace or freedom.
I see ignorance and pure hatred.
I see fire in people’s eyes.
And nowadays, all I hear are lies.
Lies are just so much now, that the truth hurts even more.
It’s even impossible to believe in the words “I adore”.
 
My heart feels sore,
I look at a girl, I see a wh*re,
Not all, fortunately.
But it’s a sad world we live in.
 
Life is a sin,
Society is a parasite,
They just say “Don’t worry, it’ll be alright!”
Then they turn their back and give no f*ck,
“If you talk to me again I will f*ck you up!”
This is sad, lost world we live in,
Need a reset,
We gotta reconnect,
Too much misery, man, where’s the respect?
 
I now know happiness doesn’t last forever,
It’s just a temporary emotion whatsoever,
But now I know what I am.
Apparently, I am right,
Good night.
