Sincerity Is Scary

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
Irony is ok, I suppose culture is to blameYou try and mask your painIn the most postmodern wayYou lack substance when you saySomething like "oh what a shame"It's just a self-referential wayThat stops you having to be humanI'm assuming you'll balloonWhen you remove the dirty spoonAnd start consuming like a humanThat's what I am assumingI'm sure that you're not just another girlI'm sure that you're gonna sayThat that was sexistI feel like you're running out of all the thingsI liked you forWhy can't we be friendsWhen we are lovers?'cause it always endsWith us hating each otherInstead of calling me outYou should be pulling me in'I've just got one more thing to say'And why would you believeYou could control how you're perceivedWhen at you're best you're intermediatelyVersed in your own feelings?Keep on putting off conceivingIt's only you that you're deceivingOh, don't have a childDon't cramp your styleI'll leave itWhy can't we be friendswhen we are lovers?'cause it always endswith us hating each otherInstead of calling me outyou should be pulling me in'I've just got one more thing to say'I'm just pissed offbecause you pied me offAfter your show when you let go of my handIn front of some sket who wanted bit on yourNah, I'm just messing
