Aarron Laidig - Misanthrope Lyrics

I ain't shy, don't twist it, that's a joke
I'm a misanthrope, humanity's smoke and mirrors broke
Trust no one, yeah, that's my creed
Y'all planting fake seeds, I'm out here pulling weeds
Eyes wide open, I see the charade
Every handshake's just a masquerade
People come and go, that's the cycle I defend
Everything with a start gotta meet its end
I'm not shy, I'm just real with the scope
Misanthrope life, no tether, no rope
Trust no one, everyone's replaceable
Beginnings end, everything's erasable
You say I'm cold? Nah, just aware
The world's a stage, and I'm the one who doesn't care
Spare me your speeches, your ties, and your flings
I see the strings, I ain't a puppet, I choose wings
Replaceable faces, yeah, I know the drill
Fake social crown, but the throne don't thrill
Cycle of the clock, every second it bends
Tick-tock, baby, all beginnings meet ends
Don't call it lonely, I call it clear
My circle's a dot; ain't no snakes here
No lies, no fakes, no forced pretend
My rulebook's simple: all things must end
So take your games and your hollow schemes
I'm chasing peace, not broken dreams
You can keep the crowd; I'll take the hope
Not shy, just thriving as a misanthrope
