Soulful Vs The Socialite (Don’t Be Surprised)
By David N. Donihue
The soulful verses socialite
A tulip amongst flytrap friendemies
Nerds dropped into soda
Pop rocks fucking fizzling
Don’t be surprised when they eat you for being sweet
The more colors and layers the more shit it brings
If you’re genuine they will mock
If you’re true they will plea
For you to become them
Shame you for their
five seconds of peace
And don’t be surprised
when the prettiest and proud prove to be the most insecure in the crowd
And don’t be surprised when you win at life
How quickly they go after your humblest drives
And don’t be surprised when they say you’re not real
And don’t be surprised when they claim you don’t feel
And don’t be surprised when they thrash your name
When they twist all your words to hold you to blame
Yet the peddlers of gossip
Never feel true meaning
Trying to sting away the numbness
of existing for nothing
They just don’t get it
They just don’t see
To be jealous is to be ashamed of what you’re not
And to be ashamed of what you’re not
Is to never see what you truly are
Or could be
And don’t be surprised when they flutter away
And don’t be surprised if that’s when you sway
Into your greatest moments, life in the minute
Nothing clogging your beautiful brain
And don’t be surprised when you achieve what you say
And don’t be surprised when you rise above all pain
And don’t be surprised when you spring to life
Take it into your heart
Kiss the fucking sky
And don’t be surprised when you change lives with kind words
And don’t be surprised when you move hearts with hard work
And don’t be surprised when you spring to life
Take it into your heart
Kiss the fucking sky
