Trying Too Hard

Another wasted campaign

To show off and impress

Some random folk who just hang out

Dropping names of celebrities

Nobody even knows

But you’re best friends with each and every one

Is it a side effect of your addiction

Or just a sign of insecurity

I don’t care if you want to sell yourself as the victim

Accusing everybody else

But you’re trying too hard

And you’re talking too much

And you act like a fool for no reason

Are you afraid that the world will keep turning

Without your own ideas on everything?

You’re trying too hard

And you keep talking too much

And then you’re now breaking down for no reason

You crave a little attention

‘Cause nobody likes you

For being the way that you are

So do you actually seek out compassion

Or are you just a nasty regular prat?

Covering identity with dissatisfaction

And making everyone else miserable

Is this your strategy to gain some friends

Or to force the people around

Enjoy the time spent with you

They can’t avoid your presence

Your ego’s crushed in the grime
