You’re crying out, broke on hope
Under the microscope
A melodramatic leech
Siphoning the potion
Promoting through commotion
Constant fuckery
Too much racket reverberates in the halls
Nobody knows, nobody knows it all
All this sanctimony without the effort
Posing pure, you're so self-assured!
Looking into the clouded mirror
Once the fog clears, not so superior!
Extended idle chatter
Restless hearts are battered
Do we want something better?
Walk on water, all the while
We should smash the crystal ball
Let it go, let it fall
Let it go, let it fall
Let it go, let it fall
Too much racket reverberates in the halls
Nobody knows, nobody knows it all
All this sanctimony without the effort
Posing pure, you're so self-assured!
Looking into the clouded mirror
Once the fog clears, not so superior!
I was once
Just like you.
Make your move
Project your mood.
Someday soon
End this contest.
Litmus test
Put it to rest!
All this sanctimony without the effort
Posing pure, you're so self-assured!
Looking into the clouded mirror
Once the fog clears, you're not so superior!
