did you know?

lennon said crippled inside
that's you, did you know?
are you aware of your effect
are you aware of your cause
yes, yes, cause and effect
that's you, did you know?

what gives you the right
to use me as your trash can?
that's you did you know?
what gives you the right
to use me every way you can?
that's you, did you know?

blinded by your own mistakes
that's you, did you know?
shuttered in your trophy house
are you hiding or lying in wait?
trapped by your own delusions
that's you, did you know?

selfish in the extreme
that's you, did you know?
surrounded by your deceptions
squandering your chances for love
ruination no rumination
that's you, did you know?

i know.
i didn't always know,
but now i do.
