My Poor Friend Me

I know there are people who are cynical and vane
And his days are getting so much shorter

And I'm running out of steam

It's my poor friend me
It's my poor friend me
It's my poor friend me
We have solutions, but don't even try
His world is crumbling, his ship is weighted down
And I feel, I know just who to blame

They live their lives under a blanket of shame
Of people running scared, we live, breathe and die
A portrayal of the great dichotomy
(Great dichotomy)
But I'm so fallibly human
I've picked the lock but will not turn the key, yeah
I know this man all too well
Lately, I've come to see the solution
It's my poor friend me

I know it's hard for him to read 'tween the lines
And it begins with me
A reminder of a tragic history
And their progeny crawl from underneath it
(Tragic history)
He simply turns away and dons a bitter frown
He doesn't care as long as he can wear the crown
Off to a world, our time is slipping on by
They point their finger 'cause they can't accept the blame
