Chair to Chair
How does that make you feel becomes your stereotypical question,
Why do you care becomes my sarcastic reply.
You act as if you're interested in my progression,
I act as if I don't care about your lies.
I'm forced to talk to you,
You just want the pay.
I wish you'd give up on a breakthrough,
You wish I would stop wasting away your day.
Ten years later I sit there in silence,
You really don't want to talk.
I want to be your guidance,
But you don't want to take that walk.
I want to tell you I know what you are going through,
You want to share with me all your pain.
I want to show you what I say is true.
You believe that I will use your troubles for personal gain.
I try to move you away from the dark place we both once shared,
I want to exhibit how everything changed by just switching chairs.
