Maybe I don't fucking get it
Maybe I just can't fuck with it

Everything was beautiful

One of those tears well in your eyes
You fall to your knees type of enchantments

The curtains close
The audience throws roses on the stage
Type of thing
That I once opposed

I was a sucker
For temporary affection
So when that spot light shined on me
I gave them a show

I gave them someone they wanted to know
I gave them entertainment that had them coming back for more
Until it was time for them to go home

Sorry for the inconvenience I have a life to attend to

A night I must rekind' too

I fell upon my knees in disgust
They just wanted a show

Of satisfaction to distract them from their everyday critical thought and actions

A sense of belonging in a faction was all I ever wanted

So maybe I don't want to fucking get it
Maybe it wasn't my birthright to fuck with it
