Call me a crow, or a magpie
I wouldn't lie
Maybe I do
but not in front of you

I am cunning
and very witty
Shiny objects are attractive
oh they are very pretty

Everyday I walk down the streets
I ponder over my lust
and that temptation to take
but it disappears fast

Cause I know it ain't that easy
I wouldn't know if it's a trap
so cautious me says
try it and find mishap

and so I walk away
that disappointment at the back of my mind
at least I didn't risk it
I didn't cross the line

The next day I start thinking
I must try, I exclaim
but then i stop once again
Cause I know my life won't be the same

Will I live with guilt
if i did go and take
what's not really mine
would it be a mistake

But in my world
I don't have to give two fucks
one fuck is enough
all I need is luck

As long as I don't get caught
I am safe with what I want
but what I'm afraid of
my footsteps they can hunt

You play with fire
you just might get burnt
said Bieber in one of his songs
lesson learnt

but I still want it so badly
is it really that hard to resist
is it impossible to steal
or is it just my conscience's hiss

Ah I hate you, my ugly soul
I love you, my beautiful heart
so indeed I will try
I can do it, I'm smart

I'll do it once
and if I find success
maybe twice
till then I can't rest

Yet once again it hits me
will it actually go well
do I have the courage
or will I just sit here and dwell

It seems I am not strong enough
ah forget it I will rest
my mind and my heart
I hope I passed the test

-Me, myself and I
