Sweep it Under the Rug

Sweep it under the rug like you always do
Ignore everything that bothers you
—that makes you uncomfortable
Problems? What problems?

You’d rather pretend like they don’t exist
—than address them head on
You’d rather pretend that you’re perfect
—than change your bad behavior
You’re pitiful, just a fool

Worse than lying to others is lying to yourself
But worst of all is lacking accountability
Not taking responsibility for your actions
Not accepting the consequences for your mistakes

You’d rather sweep it under the rug
Pretend like everything is better
Hoping that people will forget
—the pain that you caused
Hoping that people will ignore
—your blatant attempts at manipulation

But I’m onto you
I know you for what you really are
You’re a loser, a cancer, a bitch
I see right through you
—through your weak facade
You’re a liar, a snake, a witch

I know your tactics, I know your ways
You gaslight, shift blame, alter narratives
You warp reality so that it fits your story
Toxic energy, you drain us
You suck the life from those around you
Making it all about you

With so much attention you’d think you would change
—for the better, but it’s only gotten worse
You just sweep it under the rug
Pretending like things are fixed
Pretending like your problems are dealt with

It won’t work anymore
We’re onto you, and we won’t be moved
You can sweep it under the rug like you always do
Ignore everything that bothers you

“Out of sight, out of mind,” like they say
But that doesn’t fix things, that doesn’t make things okay
You’re stubborn and stuck in your ways
I say, “oh well. What more is there to say?
We can’t help you.”
