I've been scared to stop and survey All the choices that I made Like I barely beat addiction But I keep the price I paid And if I'm older, if I'm jaded Now that I've made it for so long Playing someone else's game And singing someone else's song And if my pencil and my anger can agree to summarize If I'm real I know I'll never be surprised It seems like everybody Everybody makes the same mistakes It seems like everybody Everybody's just so fucking fake And I'm a hypocrite, I know With that button down below Just be careful when you choose to take the bait So with our little lies we optimize The pictures on the screen And we don't talk about the high we get From knowing who might see Like a king who loves his throne I know, the guilty will excuse How we project our insecurities And we know it gets more views Tell the children in my church That mediocrity's unique And I can sell the validation that they seek It seems like everybody Everybody makes the same mistakes It seems like everybody Everybody's just so fucking fake And I'm a hypocrite, I know With that button down below Just be careful when you choose to take the bait I didn't enjoy this Breaking my excuses down I know why I avoid it Comfortable to sell a sound And if I hold to honesty I fell for my own con, but see That shit that I was then is over now It seems like everybody Everybody makes the same mistakes It seems like everybody Everybody's just so fucking fake And I'm a hypocrite, I know With that button down below Just be careful when you choose You never know what you might lose Just be careful when you choose to take the bait
