Blinded

You throw your words so carefully
An expert in sly hostility
With intentions to draw the first blood
A total lack of empathy
Motivated by your vanity
You never learned to hold your tongue

Your subtlety
Is lost on me

Blinded by your reflection
You see right through me when I speak
A smile won't mask your intentions
Disguise the reaction that you seek

Fingers crossed behind your back
You'll be caught in a tangled web
With the flaws that you tried to suppress
To conform but you're wasting your breath

Fingers crossed behind your back
You'll be caught in a tangled web
With the flaws that you tried to suppress
To conform but you're wasting your breath

A smile won't mask your intentions
Disguise the reaction that you seek
I don't want to hear the way
You think I should be
Blinded by your reflection
You see right through me

You think that you're above me
(You think that you're above me)
You're only as high as the platforms on your feet
On your feet, once you trip, you'll see

Blinded by your reflection
You see right through me when I speak
A smile won't mask your intentions
Disguise the reaction that you seek
I don't want to hear the way
You think I should be
Blinded by your reflection
You see right
