Shoot the Messenger

You can’t stand to see what reality shows you
So you keep on living your lie
Your problems stand right before you
But to find a solution you won’t even try

It happens not once, not twice, but all the time
You treat all your friends just like swines
Your alter ego dominates
That’s so much more than I can take

You don’t seem to understand what comes from above
Through the years
And if someone gives you some tough love

No one try to tell you
What you problem is
Everybody keep their mouth shut
Or you’ll shoot the messenger

You’re not a child, you’re a grown-up
It’s about time you got your shit together
Don’t blame me everytime you blow up
Instead make amends - now or never

Who’s your friend? Who’s a fake?
The one who keeps you confortable
Who’s a fake? Who’s your friend?
Or the one who shows you your foible

Cover-up, it’s okay, got nothing to say
Blow the cover, to the core, be shunned, just one more
