Are You Smartering Me?
By mbienamulia
Verse 1:
You walk in with your chest held high,
Like you’re the smartest one in the sky,
Talking circles 'round and round,
Proving your idea a little too loud.
You think you're out here breaking the mold,
But you’re just a copy, plain and cold,
Spinning webs that you can’t untangle,
Do you even know the angle?
Pre-chorus 1:
You think you’ve got the game in your hands,
But all you’ve done is draw a line in the sand,
Thinking you're clever, looking so sure,
But underneath, there’s nothing pure.
Chorus:
Are you smartering me, or just laughing at me?
Thinking that you’re supposed to be, you’re supposed to be
The one who can control for whatever will be, whatever will be
But boy, do you think you’ve got the world figured out?
It’s all just a show that full of flaws
Are you smartering me, are you smartering me?
Verse 2:
You’re dropping words like you’ve got the cure,
But your wisdom’s just a total failure
Tripping over your own advice,
Building castles from a fragile trust.
You say it all with so much pride,
But deep down, you're just running from the tide,
I wonder how your wife and your two daughters handle it,
Having a VP dad who just a hit or miss
Pre-chorus 2:
You think you’ve got the world on your side,
But I’m laughing inside, can’t run and hide,
You’ve got no answers, just empty space,
Keep talking, but it’s all out of place.
Chorus:
Are you smartering me, or just laughing at me?
Thinking that you’re supposed to be, you’re supposed to be
The one who can control for whatever will be, whatever will be
But boy, do you think you’ve got the world figured out?
It’s all just a show that full of flaws
Are you smartering me, are you smartering me?
Bridge:
Oh boy, look at the way you speak with such conviction,
Like you’ve solved every riddle, every addiction,
But look how every word you said cut them deep to the ocean,
If being useless is all the emotions,
Maybe that’s how they used to make you feel
And that’s how you heal and conceal
Hope you’ll be okay one day
And forgive yourself someday
Outro:
They say the poorest man is the one who doesn’t know he doesn’t know,
It’s the one who thinks they’ve figured it out, but they’re just putting on a show,
At least stop pretending to know it all, stop playing that game,
You’re just caught in their spotlight, acting like you’re the same,
But deep down you’re not, so why keep shining so bright?
