Behind, beneath the truth, that's where you are
The way you treat yourself you won't get far
You keep on acting like you're some kind of fucking star
If you stop to think, you'd realize
The bitterness you see comes from your eyes
Your pain is self-inflicted, made of stone-cold lies
You'll know yourself when you can feel the smell
Of your own deeds, the ones that give you hell
You need to see for yourself
The bitter drops that fall while on your own
Won't be of benefit, you'll die alone
You're not a king and you have no right to the throne
You make your wishes, pray and hope to be well
The scent of flowers hides the smell from hell
There is no you, and you keep hoping we can't tell
You'll know yourself when you can feel the smell
Of your own deeds, the ones who give you hell
With the dazzling posies always with you
There's is no success you can give in to
You need to see for yourself
