Transactional Friendship

Expressions come like they never mattered
Moments pass like it never happened
Dollars implied interpretations of time
Taking away any meaning you find
Searching for the people for what we need
Honest intentions founded in greed
Blame lies for the truth needs reason
Watch them go as the pain deepens

Friendships strained from this game we play
Defined by mutual hate
We care more about people half a world away
I used to think ego was the one to blame
Insecurity manifests all the same

Look beyond what we share
Common ground is it even there?
Bring myself and nothing more
Transactional friendship. What's the score?
