I look all around me and see phonies.
I try to avoid them
But they keep coming at me with thier decieving eyes
Waiting for me to give in
I know thier tricks I know what they plan for me
I maybe paranoid
But I'm not crazy
I know you see them too..laughing at me
SmeRks full of triumph because they know you want to join them
I play nice though and I make sure they all think I like them
I smile when they smile
I talk when they talk
Wait a minute
What am I doing?!
I look all around me
I see those phonies by my side
Acting like my friends
I'm here making them my freinds
Wow...I'm one of them

I was bored and I was thinking about how poeple talk about how much they dispise phony people and in the end they're the ones who are the hipocrites.

Very good! Great structure and use of irony, and very, very relateable! Keep up the good work!
