Summer of Blood - Mata Hari Lyrics

I'm blending in
Like a chameleon
A shape-shifting reptilian
Shedding skin like a snake in sheep's clothing
And depending on
The situation I'm in
I'm playing hide and seek with myself
'Cuz when I'm someone else it's like I'm on a vacation

Yeah not everybody wants the truth
Uh some of us gotta lie to be loved yeah
Yeah not everybody wants the truth
Some of us gotta lie to be loved oh

What nice a surprise
I got a new disguise
I'm hypnotized by that look in your eyes
But paralyzed thinking maybe you see me
To me, it's all a game
So if you want to take aim
You better be shooting straight
'Cuz you can't place blame on a moving target

Yeah not everybody wants the truth
Uh some of us gotta lie to be loved oh
Yeah not everybody wants the truth
Uh some of us gotta lie to be loved
Oh yeah

So who you going to believe
Me or the one you perceive
That's not a heart on my sleeve
It's a way to deceive you
Like a sneak movie preview
And will you ever find out
What I'm all about
Prolly never I doubt
Because I'm wearing a mask
On this expressionless face to boot
Well I'm just out to impress
To leave an impression I guess
Because I want all my guests
To be obsessed with the questions
They already have answers to
Damn I could do this all-day
But I don't have time to play
So if you want a parlay
You better walk this way
Or run to your hiding place
And yeah it's all a big tease
But hey you look good on your knees
When the camera's just right
And the angle's so tight
You can't turn to talk to me
So what I'm trying to say
What I'm really trying to convey
Is that you will never know who you're talking to
