Trying Too Hard

Another wasted campaign
To show off and impress
Some random folk who just hang out
Dropping names of celebrities
Nobody even knows
But you’re best friends with each and every one
Is it a side effect of your addiction
Or just a sign of insecurity
I don’t care if you want to sell yourself as the victim
Accusing everybody else

But you’re trying too hard
And you’re talking too much
And you act like a fool for no reason
Are you afraid that the world will keep turning
Without your own ideas on everything?
You’re trying too hard
And you keep talking too much
And then you’re now breaking down for no reason
You crave a little attention
‘Cause nobody likes you
For being the way that you are

So do you actually seek out compassion
Or are you just a nasty regular prat?
Covering identity with dissatisfaction
And making everyone else miserable
Is this your strategy to gain some friends
Or to force the people around
Enjoy the time spent with you
They can’t avoid your presence
Your ego’s crushed in the grime
