Can’t you see how obnoxious you are?
How rude, how calloused, how ignorant by far?

You live such a falsehood, your weary old dreams
You can’t see reality, or that’s how it seems.

You hurt all you friends, you don’t hold back
You tear into all, don’t see what you lack.

Why can’t you see and why can’t you hear?
To you it’s just foolish, to the rest it’s just clear.

Your frustration, your pain are all your own fault
You can see your choices making you a cult.

You’ve asked me why I can’t seem to stand you.
The answer is simple- you can’t stand yourself too.

I have a friend who can be very... arrogant and not realize it.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
