Not only do you lie to all those around you
you lie to yourself

Until you can learn to tell yourself the truth
you will forever be a victem

Are you talking to my Ex?

Oh you can't be, she doesn't have an account here, but it sure sounds like you know her

Let's be confused together. Sheesh.

You put yourself in stupid places
Yes I think you know it’s true
Situations where it’s easy to look down on you
I think you like to be the victim
I think you like to be in pain
I think you make yourself a victim
Almost every single day

It is not so much that we "lie" to ourselves as it is that we lock away life's traumas into our subconscious.

Our subconscious does NOT speak in the same language that our conscious minds do and speaks in the emotional, symbolic language of dreams and mythology. These are often the keys to the behaviours we exhibit that we can not particularly explain through conscious logic and must be dealt with in emotional and/or spiritual ways.

We like to think that our conscious minds can tackle any problem and that we have developed beyong our intinctual sub-conscious mind, but in truth, the notion of conscious thought is in it's infancy. Our species has only been capable of conscious thought for PERHAPS a ten-thousand years. Our intinctual side through mamalian evolution has FAR outweighed that by a million year of human evolution (or more) and perhaps MUCH MUCH older.

We can not 'think' our way out of most emotional crisis, but our conscious minds are AT LEAST smart enough to recognize when there IS a problem, and seek the appropriate ways in which to deal with it.
