Written or picked apart in this song
I'll pretend I'm happy while I'm scared to death
At least till there are no lines left
Because, my dear, I write all my own books
With bullshit words and a few dirty looks
Using a lot of the same letters
Cause that helps to make them less legible
Do you believe I'm a genius undercover?
Or just a bluff? The masquerade of a lover?
Due to all the mistakes I've made
I won't be sure of anything
I'm open like a bank for robbery
You just have to find my insecurities
Cause we all speak what we'd like to hear
Too afraid to be sincere
I know how it feels...I do, I do
But that's never kept me from the truth
All the wrong words that I write
Are just waiting for the cover of midnight
To come out and prove me justified
So don't even start taking shots at my faith
This is a one-way conversation
And I have the right to be wrong
I have the goddamn right to be wrong!
Maybe I sound angry
Maybe you're used to that from me
But I never promised you a perfect heart
Or anything near a lack of doubt
It's just me, with these talons, these claws
Beasts we are, and that's how we'll fall
I've finally figured it out
Due to a self-imposed law
I won't be your devil or your God
I've got these habits that I can't kick
Like making a sermon from a pile of bullshit
I'm a magician - it's all in the tricks
Cause we all see what we want to believe
It's an intrinsic human need
I know how it feels...I do, I do
But for once, I'm just gonna be honest with you
I'm not happy, I don't know what I want
I don't know what's right
I don't know what's wrong
I think this is bullshit
I'm gonna call every bluff
Fair enough?
