False Facades

   And you wonder....wonder
what did you do for this?

Don't pretend that you're my friend
I can see behind your deception
Take me for a fool but I know better
Respect is earned, not destroyed
Defy those laws, change the rules
Exactly what kind of game
are you trying to play?
Count me out, I'm not a piece
in your charade

I won't be part of your cheap charades
Go ahead and whip out your false facades
I'm not afraid of a stack of lies
Or the failures and worthless tries

Secrets can be kept, bonds can be broken
You can twist your promises, bend your word
I'll never listen to the things that you say
Another nonentity passing by
Did I say you were worth my time?

I won't be part of your cheap charades
Go ahead and whip out your false facades
You'll always act like everything's fine
But you won't be taking any pride of mine

So go ahead and try to break me
Go inside, take any friends you want
Let the two worlds collide
When was this worth my time?

I won't be part of your cheap charades
Go ahead and whip out your false facades
You may have taken, but not for long
Soon they'll realize that you were wrong

I see you laughing, are you proud?
What exactly have you achieved?
Maybe it's just me
Another heaping pile of nothing

I won't be part of your cheap charades
Go ahead and whip out your false facades
Another pack of dirt and slime
When did I say you were worth my time?
