I did do those things on purpose
I'm an expert in my field
I'll pull out my pockets perfect
Other tricks up my sleeve still
Are you treading water gently?
Or are you the current still?
Yeah, just stand and smile politely and
Internalize the thrill

Yeah, did I make you some promise?
To be bound to struggle still?
To a decade lived dishonest where at
Least the feeling's real
I think, I hope it's real

So come on, let's hang up all the
Moments that get in the way
Where you feel like you're a human party trick to entertain

Yeah, did I make you some promise?
To be bound to struggle still?
To a decade lived dishonest where at
Least the feeling's real
I think, I hope it's real

Yeah, did I make you some promise?
To be bound to struggle still?
To a decade lived dishonest where at
Least the feeling's real

Yeah, so now that I'm the artist
I can paint the picture pale
I can twist my words, the overture
To finally feel what's real
I think, I hope it's real
