Take a look around before you look at me

Judge yourself before you go judging me

Yeah, I know I have annoying ticks and obnoxious habits

But you’re not so perfect either

And I know I need some fixing, I should really clean up this act

But what about you, mister?

What makes you better?

Lately it seems you’re always criticizing

It doesn’t matter what I do, something always needs more doing

It doesn’t matter how I behave it is always misbehaving

I miss your appreciation and gratitude

This stress and tension is wearing me thin

If anyone breathes wrong this house is going to explode

I’m drowning and grasping for something, feeling a way I never felt before

For the first time I’m ready to disappear, I’m ready to leave here

You’re constantly commenting on our foul moods

But look at yours, your patience is beyond thin

And the stress is radiating off this house and everyone within it

Why can your moods be excused, yet we all feel this blanket of tension coating the air

Stuck in these tough times where you decide what to pick and prod

Stuck in this house filled with anger and frustration

We are all suffocating

So take a look around before you set your newest expectations

Judge yourself before you judge the work I’ve done

I have been patient and kind

I have jumped when spoken to, ready to do what is needed to prevent any strife

I know things are tight and tough, trust me I feel it too

But we look to you for guidance

And right now we’re lost.
