lyrics

*Tink tink tink* on my skull
Who’s that knocking?
Oh, it’s you, well…
Sorry, no vacancy. I’m too full of myself to seat you.
Why not try down the street where Happy Trail deadends
And see if the innkeeper’s up, ‘cause he won’t charge you rent, it’s free.

So why keep stressin’, second guessin’ all the words you hear me say
With loaded questions trying to get the best of me?
As if your smooth hands could find loose ends in the cool that I create
You’ll find the truth is just a few steps out of reach, see…

I’ve granted you all access everywhere but my mind
So get it right, or get in line

You think that it’s my fault
Staying distant like I do
And keep digging in my skin
For scars that I won’t ever show you
Rather than coming clean, I wear mystique like Maybelline
Because my smudge-free cover-up means everything to me

And though you swear you’re making progress all the times you’re making waves
I just don’t care to sate your curiosity
As if your smooth hands could find loose ends
In the cool that I create
I’m losing patience all the time you’re losing sleep

And it’s a shame what we say
To maintain our charade
That we really couldn’t give a damn for love
But we know that the pace
Of the affection that we crave
Slows the moment we say we can’t get enough.
