We want to be popular
But we're way too shy.
We swear to be ourselves
But we build ourselves up with lies.
We all have each other's backs
But we like to stab them with knives. 
We say that we don't like fake people
But we never seem to cut the ties.
We want to impress everyone else,
But we never stop to ask ourselves why?
Why do we choose to go with flow?
Is it because that's what's 'cool'?
Is it because everyone else is doing it
So we should too?
Contradiction is built into our society,
And none of us seem to
Be able to break out of the habit.
