A Guide To Live By

(álbum: A Portrait Of An Ugly Man - 2020)

Oh what a glorious hour to be obscured by a mask
The blind and shallow confidence has a schedule one effect
While you were down you came around and you introduced yourself
You did your job and did it well, gave your name and took your vows

And if it feels cheap that's because it is
To construct an illusion and to live in it
But if you do it right, you'll be hard to catch
And maybe never ever even noticed

Oh what a fantastic game to play within yourself
Keeping all the hard to swallow bits inside your mouth
You will be so likable and it will never end itself
Don't let the oxygen run out, or else you'll burden everyone else

And if it feels cheap that's because it is
To construct and illusion and to live in it
But if you do it right, you'll be hard to catch
And maybe never ever even noticed

I can't remember
I can't remember who I am
I can't remember
I can't remember who I am
I can't remember
I can't remember who I am
I can't remember
I can't remember who I am
