False Advertising |
On a string, on a string, on a string I was held |
The way that I move, can you tell? |
My actions are orchestrated from above me |
And so I swing and I sway |
Wave my hand, kick my leg |
And it’s always right with the music |
Until all that swaying starts to make you sick |
For a song I was bought |
Now I lie when I talk |
With a careful eye on the cue card |
Onto a stage, I was pushed |
With my sorrow well-rehearsed |
So give me all your pity and your money, now (All of it) |
We used to think that sound was something pure |
But if I could act like this was my real life |
And not some cage where I’ve been placed |
Well then, I could tell you the truth like I used to |
And not be afraid of sounding fake |
Now all anyone’s listening for are the mistakes |
(Oh, I’m sorry) |
No, it’s okay, it’s okay |
One two three, one two three |
In a house, by myself |
I hear the ice start to melt |
And I’ll watch rooftops weep for the sunlight |
And I know what must change |
Fuck my face, fuck my name |
They are brief and false advertisements |
For a soul I don’t have |
Something true I have lacked |
And spent my whole life trying to make up for |
But I found in a song |
And in the people I love |
They will lift me up out of darkness |
And now my door, it stands open |
I’m inviting everyone in |
We’re gonna laugh, we’re gonna drink until the morning comes |
That’s what we are going to do |
Come on! |
Come on! |
