Narcissist

You're the saint, and we're the sinners
With your treacherous lies, you emerge the winner
You know only to take, forgetting to give
Gratitude's alien, in the world where you live

Can't solve disputes with noble words
Lack of empathy, it's simply absurd
No understanding, no wish to discuss
Hurrying to conclusions, leaving us in a fuss

When I speak my heart, wanting something different
Your face turns a stone, emotions indifferent
You retaliate in defense, say I treat you wrong
Murder my intent, with your harsh, hollow song

You are a narcissist, king of your own world
Your heart is just a mirror, your compassion's been unfurled
You can't hear anyone, except your own voice
Hope one day you'll change, hope you make that choice

Lost in the recesses of your painted golden aura
Balancing on the thin line, of love and paranoia
For you, your looks are everything, vanity's perfect prey
Looking for your own face, in every mirror, every day

You dance in the dark with a wicked smile
Charmed by yourself all the while
In every story, you're the hero
But to me, you're sinking to zero

You've had many men, viewing them as tools
Disposable items, to cater to your fool's rules
Your narcism's a window dressing, outward glamour and grace
But within you resides a grump, hidden behind your face

You are a narcissist, trapped in your own reflection
Living in a twisted world of your own conception
Your ears tuned to yourself, drowning out the noise
Oh, what a lonely song, you sing without a choice

Can't you see? Can't you tell
You're living in your own perfect hell
Masking your empty heart with a smile
Walking in your own deception, mile after mile

You are a narcissist, self-absorbed, self-contained
Are you happy in your world, stark or stained
Silent pleas surround you, but your ears are closed
In your pool of loneliness, is this the path you chose

Echoing in the silence, is your singular chorus
Ignorance or arrogance, it doesn't matter to us
In the heart of your narcissism, where love should reside
I hope you find the light, steer away from the hide
