Why would I care
I'm trying so hard to be understood
By all these people that do me no good
So I've got to ask
Why do I try
To seek validation from people I hate and despise
I would rather die
Than ever trade places with people complacent in life
It isn't that I can't take criticism
It's the fact that you're projecting jealously
I reject that stupid useless cynicism
I would rather spend my time developing
I've been selling myself short again
I'm the sort of person telling myself
I need support from friends
But this is distorting my view
Of what's important
I get joy in recording
Don't need an attaboy
I should be adamant
Driving me crazy
I'm done riding shotgun
Sick of hearing your two cents
Now I don't think I've got one
Your opinion had dominion over me
But now I can see
The hungriest eat
And all of you bottom feeders
Have nothing to eat but the weak, not me
As soon as I entered the industry
I have been itching to witness the day
I'm given my flowers or getting a mention
And even considered as one of the greats
I've tasted the fruits of my labor
I guess I'm just wishing
That you could admit it and say that you were
Never committed and that was the issue but things never change so
Why do I try
And seek validation
From people I hate and
Despise
I
Would rather die
Than ever trade places with
People complacent in life
It's not the fact that I avoid criticism
I'm terrified of how they are perceiving me
I live this life with views controlled by cynicism
Scared to lose the rhythm, plagued by fears I'm not where I should be
Silently, I keep to the corners of these rooms
Of my peers feeling that I don't fit in where they all loom
