Analysis of They Say You Are The Problem
They say you are the problem
They befriend you only to deceive you
They steal from you
Look you in the eye
Lie to you
Business as usual
Reasons to give you the boot
Burdens and blame placed upon you
Both ears getting filled with crap
No one cares nothing matters
Blame going all around back and forth
Never resolved never understood
Confusion and pain is all you get
Being numb isn't even what it used to be
Yesterday was tomorrow
Today is yesterday
Time blending into another day
A day you just want to die
They cannot see their own folly
Their own problems
Thinking it's okay cuz they pay
Cuz they are above you
Only the short sighted see what they want
Only the big picture is their vision
Your stature in life don't allow for it
Your place is below
Held down accused of things not done
Face you
They cannot look into your eye
Cannot say true what is talked
Only what makes them look good
Blame and Burden on you
Let those know not what they appear
They are the very thing they loathe
They say you are the problem
