They say
"Be yourself!"
and all this other crap

Then they
push you down
and laugh in your face

They say
"You can do anything!"
and all these other lies

Then they
mock you behind your back
and make fun of what you do

They say
"Words can't hurt you!"
and all those other tales

Then they
throw words of knifes
and scar you forever
