Words For Hire

(альбом: Upright Animals - 2022)

Blankly I stare
Pulling out my hair
The harder I think the more I fear
You'll figure me out, I'm insincere

And now the words I say
Just fill the empty space
The fake I am on page
It's written on my face

Uninspired
How do all the right words come out Wrong?
As required
Write another lie, they sing along
All we want is all you've got to give!
Words for hire
No I can't fake this
No I can't fake this for long

The only reason I write anything
Is so you can come here
And then scream it at me
Obviously poetic
But so apathetic
It's not my aesthetic
Composing cosmetics

And now the words I say
Just fill the empty space
Don't know what I stand for
Can't seem to find my place

Uninspired
How do all the right words come out Wrong?
As required
Write another lie, they sing along
All we want is all you've got to give!
Words for hire
No I can't fake this
No I can't fake this for long

Waiting for me to bleed on the page
Won't matter if it's true
As long as it's on paper
I can rope you in
And sell it to you

Uninspired
As required

Uninspired
How do all the right words come out Wrong?
As required
Write another lie, they sing along
All we want is all you've got to give!
Words for hire
No I can't fake this
No I can't fake this for long
