[Hook]
If I am only a shallow motif, I know I don't belong
But you won't really see the real me before you hear my songs
Because I am lonely, but don't mistake me, or think that I ain't strong
I know you think you know me, but you don't know me, you have got me wrong
[Verse 1]
I'd be lying if I said I was the perfect man
I tried to tell ‘em I never had no dirty hands
In all honesty, I've been in the corner before
It's all par for the course and in accordance with the plan
More than what you would have gathered in a first glance
More often than not I'm tricky to understand
Anonymous anomaly with no apology
An oddity with a division of psychology
My inner demons are riddled with dichotomies
And Ripley's Believe It or Not ideologies
Striving to find the right philosophy
All the while fine tuning the life policy
Intercepted on the regular, constantly
As if the interjections are involuntary
And I'd love to think that I ain't let it bother me
But everywhere I go, the self-doubt follows me
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
No wonder I'm nervous and anxious
When all I see is a world full of madness
Surly impressions, knee-jerk reactions
Trivial material to serve as attachments
About to lose my brain to migraines
As my feign interest wains and migrates
Seems to me we're all weak at the knees
And eager to please somebody we could never appease
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
Yeah, yeah
Not the type to want to battle a stranger
Music the preferred method of channeling anger
Deep thought
24 channels, man I've seen more
Than the average man should have had to endure
Sure I can act flamboyant and sure
It's sorta for my own enjoyment
But never would let it affect my love for the music
By playing it humble in front of my muses
You just see a character portrayed on stage
And think you got it figured out
Got the inside word on what I think about
What the gossip and scandal, what the ins and outs
What the scoop, what the juice, wanna wring it out
Wanna talk [?] until you're out of breath
Wanna talk? It'll be my d**h
Unimpressed with the method
So [?] with the rhythm in [?]
More than you ever could, merely living in a fantasy
[Hook]
