lyrics

I’ve got a face for the world to see
I’ve got a face for the fuckers trying to undress me
I’ve got a face for when I compromise
I’ve got a face for myself you wouldn’t recognize

Don’t be so nervous I just want to be friends
I got my own way of talking and I hope it offends
The two of us are more alike than you know
I changed these lines twenty times on the way to the show
Give the people what the people crave
You gotta make ‘em dance you gotta make ‘em behave
I bet you love it when they're singing along
It’s time to switch up the key and play another song

I had a moment and it felt like a lifetime
I’m feeling lucid, I don’t think that’s a good sign
And for a minor fee, I’ll share the worst of me
You’ll wish you’d never asked
I’ll promise anything if you’ll say you’ll be mine

I’m not pretending to be somebody else
It’s taking all of my pretending just to be myself
An hour in makeup and you can’t see the scars
I keep my eyes on the room and my brain in a jar
I sense impatience for a second act
But I killed off the hero in a sneak attack
I’ll think of something if you’ll take it on trust
We’re gonna grind ‘em to pieces, we’re gonna pound ‘em to dust

I had a moment and it felt like a lifetime
I’m feeling lucid, I don’t think that’s a good sign
And for a minor fee, I’ll share the worst of me
You’ll wish you’d never asked
I’ll promise anything if you’ll say you’ll be mine
