Again, you tell her lies
she’s heard a thousand times
You conjure up something you think sounds right
then pray for her to sit tight
Now, you don’t mean no harm
Intentions blurred by charm
You find your way around her subtle noes
and feel satisfied when she goes
Stare at your reflection
Rummage through your soul
Did mama ever tell you
to mislead the hands you hold?
You act like you’re a saviour
favours for a price
but tell me is it worth it?
Is it really worth it
when sorry won’t suffice?
You wear you name with pride
like you’ve nothing to hide
and you think no one’s gonna take that fight
that you’re washed clean by daylight
Stare at your reflection
Rummage through your soul
Did mama ever tell you
to mislead the hands you hold?
You act like you’re a saviour
favours for a price
but tell me is it worth it?
Is it really worth it
when sorry won’t suffice?
At night, I wonder how
those faceless voices plough
through every vulnerable soul until
everyone is kept still
