Deconstruct my face it’s in the way of my ambitions Don’t you know you can’t dispose of Your reflection Box cutters won’t defend you I have tried they don’t tend to Your wounds you can’t cut out Your reflection Facial adolescence I’ll accept my sentence Social taxidermy Push a pin inside your body I can’t sleep in the dark now yeah what if I can’t be seen categorize me I am not as I should be I am not as I should be I am not as I should be I am not as I should be Social taxidermy it changes all that we will see It holds its power over me It holds its power over me Oh I can’t stand the way you talk about the look of her face, and the way it is shaped Dress her up like a babydoll check if she is okay oh it's all in my way I stop glowing I stop showing I stop glowing I stop showing

Tightrope 02:09
Real woman is calm and collected Real woman keeps her voice down Real woman cares about her face Real woman won’t question Real woman doesn’t change her face Real woman is not like the rest Real woman screams right out loud Real woman is authentic and fake Always one and not the other I can’t say the same for my brother Lean too much and you will fall Never good enough to answer the call Aways one and not the other Oh no, not her again Oh no, not her again Oh no, not her again Oh no, not her again again Oh no, fuck her again again Oh no, not her again again Oh no, fuck her again again Always one and not the other I can’t even see why I bother Lean too much and you will fall Never good enough to answer the call When will it be enough to answer the call will she be enough to answer the call When will it be enough to answer the call will she be enough to answer the call Tightrope Tightrope Tightrope Tightrope

Listen, I know you want a car and I know you want a wife But it’s not in your cards A good man is warned twice It’s all behind the curtain you’’ll see what I mean Don’t have to change a thing, you’ll believe what you read It’s all behind the curtain you’’ll see what I mean I feel so much better with my soap packaged in green Another minute spent Another hour squandered Another day wasted All that time that wandered You could’ve spend that time getting a degree but then again what does wasted really mean Put your back into it Don’t slack off I’m sure it will get better Maybe get a job You work so hard to be a success Pay more get less You work so hard to be a success Pay more get less Well, Say goodbye to the house and The boat and the car I promise nothing nothing will get you more far Than my advice it’s all the luxury you need Nothing like what you see on tv Don’t look back, It has always been like this Goalposts haven’t been moved, you’re overthinking things There’s no boot on your neck, you’re very comfortable You’ve always been paying for a pack of three and not four You work so hard to be a success Pay more get less I'm not the one that got you into this mess Pay more get less Salutations emptiness Pay more get less Sell more shameless Pay more get less Who’s they? Who’s they? Are they ruining your fun that way? Who’s they? Who’s they? Are they ruining your fun that way? Who’s they? Who’s they? Are they ruining your fun that way? I’m they We’re they We are ruining your fun that way Performative environmentalist Monetize your talent 9 to 5 Seven out of seven Respectable job You’re so funny You cannot eat your money

Say you’re bothered By all you’ve had to shoulder But now it’s far gone you can’t talk it over And the jury’s still out on whether you deserved it Sick sick sick of it Sick sick you hypocrite Every little sign becomes a dot becomes a line Doesn’t matter now It's reminiscent reminiscent And I’m not that mean It remains to be seen Self protection by my judgement Whether i’ll get over my gripes with the way everything reminds Me of times that were not fair I can’t stop im so aware I can’t stop i’m so aware I can’t stop i’m so aware I can’t stop i’m so aware I can’t stop i’m so aware Sick sick sick sick of it Sick sick sick you hypocrite Every little sign becomes a dot becomes a line Doesn’t matter now It's reminiscent reminiscent Get up Shut up Stupid Coward Quiet Violence Argue over what hurts more Sick sick sick sick of it Sick sick sick ME hypocrite Every little sign becomes a dot becomes a line Doesn’t matter now It's reminiscent reminiscent Done revisiting my regret Have I convinced myself that I hate you yet Done revisiting my regret Have I convinced myself that I hate you yet

I’m so tired I choose to be boring You’re so wired You choose to be boring I just don’t know now what to say or what to do or where to go But if I find a way out of the spiral then I’ll let you know I just don’t know now what to say or what to do or where to go But if I find a way out of the spiral then I’ll let you know I don’t think I’ll stay here maybe for only just a while I would rather go inside and sleep for just a while You don’t want the life of me I waste my time just let me be You don’t want your life to be You don’t want more

I want to see a pretty picture of myself It is just something that I can’t help But it’s normal and I think I deserve it Yeah it’s normal and I think I deserve it, hey! What are you supposed to be now be now I didn’t think you’d get this far on your own now They smoked you out like insects from a bees nest bees nest But you came back and I have to say I’m impressed You now get what you know you are here for Screw the rest you made it, unbelievable I’m glad I didn’t make you bitter Show them just how happy you can be Impressively happy Impressively happy Impressively happy Impressively happy Impressively happy Impressively happy Impressively happy Impressively happy...
