Peekaboo

(album: Elsewhere - 2022)

Think you're so clever
When you hide behind your hands
And you feel invisible
You're under pressure
When you tell us all a tale
It's a game of true or false

So now you sneak around under my nose
And tell me how the story goes
I'm listening and poking holes, I know
So then I started to connect the dots
You gotta fall to learn to walk
But do you even have the strength to stop? Nah

Quit playing peekaboo
Do you really think I'm stupid?
I can still see you
But you always stay the same
And play these childish games
So spare some change
'Cause you don't have to hide anymore
Quit playing peekaboo

Hide, you can hide
You can run, but you can't hide

So am I selfish to be sick of faking smiles
When all you do is play?
Pretend you're helpless
Hell, at least in hide and seek
When you're caught, it ends the game

So now you sneak around under my nose
And tell me how the story goes
I'm listening and poking holes, I know
So then I started to connect the dots
You gotta fall to learn to walk
But do you even have the strength to stop? Nah

Quit playing peekaboo
Do you really think I'm stupid?
I can still see you
But you always stay the same
And play these childish games
So spare some change
'Cause you don't have to hide anymore
Quit playing peekaboo
