is it my business to care
what is happening around me
all i want to care about is myself
must i feel guilt when i'm selfish
afterall its a dog eat dog world
out there, people are going to brush you off like dirt

could someone lie about something
that even he starts to believe in this lie
could the truth hurt so much
even the thought of it
gets you retreating back into your shell
being in denial is better than admitting defeat

loneliness is your truest friend
a faithful companion like your dark shadow
he might make you cry and prove you worthless
live off your misery
nevermind that the world seems to go on without you
everyone is too caught up in their own worlds to care
