Objects
So many people
Living one lie to another
Out to impress their own egos
So many people
Doing it all for show
For shallow selves & shallow friends
And families too
Joining in, teaching it, passing on
Those materialist beliefs
Watch them
In their cunning concrete worlds
Listen & let them talk
Observe the gradual exposure
And look for the cracks
In their thin transparent veneers
Doing it best on social media
Well too in real fake life
Only their best to speak of
And behind the spotlights
Behind the soggy curtains
Their backstage frowns
Their backstage carnage
The debts, the horrid schemes
The lives they’ve ruined
All for show
All for ego
All for false self-esteem
Living one lie to another

And behind the spotlights
Behind the soggy curtains
Their backstage frowns
Their backstage carnage
The debts, the horrid schemes
The lives they’ve ruined
All for show
All for ego
All for false self-esteem
