Humbug

Lyrics Written March 2nd, 2022

It seems the exhibitionist

Takes advantage of what they’ve missed

She only craves authority

To cover insecurity

The fake superiority

Contradicts the search for pity

But when her face begins to crack She gathers up her plastic pack

So when she’s hit with starvation

She bends to victimization

She wants to show her stains

But only the ones named 

That face

Molded of my clay

Blurred in foggy gray

Surreal to my dismay

Don’t think

Deny the humbug

Too heavy to lug

The mirror’s looking smug

 

I left my mark on the sculpture

Just mad I tainted her culture

She’s happy to display some stains

But only the ones with the names

Fakes instability for clout

But I’m the one who’s acting out

Her iron fist is made of glass

And I'm the scapegoat for the cracks

She wants to show her stains

But only the ones named

That face

Molded of my clay

Blurred in foggy gray

Surreal to my dismay

Don’t think

Deny the humbug

Too heavy to lug

The mirror’s looking smug

And I can’t tell if the braggart 

Is just a made-up counterpart

Made from a sensitive vision 

With too many failed revisions

To heal my hurt autocracy

And seal it with hypocrisy 

I’m scared to recognize the void

So I think I’ll just be paranoid

I’ll scoff at those with names

But only the ones stained

That face

Molded of my clay

Blurred in foggy gray

Surreal to my dismay

Don’t think

Deny the humbug

Too heavy to lug

The mirror’s looking smug

She wants to show her stains

But only the ones with names

I want to scoff at names

But only the ones with stains
