StinkyNettles - Only Here For The Show Lyrics

There you are with a thousand truths about me
Stories you spin each night to fit your own fantasy
You paint a picture, but it's never really right
Seeing me through a lens where the truth's somehow out of sight

You project your fears and doubts onto my face
Your insecurities shape the space I take
Every flaw you see is a mirror of your own
You're growing your own fears from seeds you've sown

You say, "This isn't you"
As if you've ever known
Who I am, who I was, how I'll be and who I've been
You say, "This isn't true"
As if you've ever seen
Beyond what you wished for, stop thinking you can change me

I'm just waiting for the next shit that you'll churn
Another false tale, more of your crap to burn
You're pushing your lies, but I'm not buying in
I'm only here for the show now, let your games begin

You say, "This isn't you"
As if you've ever known
Who I am, who I was, how I'll be and who I've been
You say, "This isn't true"
As if you've ever seen
Beyond what you wished for, stop thinking you can change me

I'm finally on the outside looking in
Seeing the patterns and where they begin
Your show's still running, I'm just taking it in
Watching it all play out, no need to dive in

You say, "This isn't you"
As if you've ever known
Who I am, who I was, how I'll be and who I've been
You say, "This isn't true"
As if you've ever seen
Beyond what you wished for, stop thinking you can change me
