why are you wearing that suit? (produced by Notebook​.​)

lyrics

(Intro)

It's never what you think it is.
They're never who they say they are.
So, I take my dosage
and drink the potion.
I pray for those
and don't pay them no attention,
I'm surrounded. There ain't a
set of eyes I could trust, but I'm grounded.

(Hook):
It’s never what you think it is.
How could you say that I’m lost?
Two-stepping with a mirage:
easiest route to a coffin.
Why would I befriend a charlatan?
Don't you dare say “it's a part of it.”
Why are you wearing that suit?
Show me the real side of you.

(Break)

It's never what you think it is.
They're never who they say they are.
I don't even want to take part.
Stay far.
Maybe it's you. Maybe it's me;
and the way I perceive. I’m jaded, it seems;
quite tainted and predisposed
to walk that thin rope of disarray with my feet.
It's a chain just for me. Am I making believe and endangering peace?
I'm surrounded. There ain't a
set of eyes I could trust, but I'm grounded.

(Bridge):
You say I’m to blame.
Possibly, but fuck your claims. You're insane.
No way. No way.
No way.

(Hook)

Give me a second to think.
Things bend when I blink. I’d do best with a shrink.
Need to lessen the time in my little head ‘cause I sink.
Really, I want to flex; breakfast in bed in a mink.
Exit my dreams and get right to sex on the beach.
Minimal stress, sippin’ an excellent drink.
Instead, I’m killin’ my system with too much chemicals
to be level-headed. This shit I do’s unethical.
It's been this way for as long as I can remember, too…
Still, I wake up and execute the incredible.
What's on the other side of this mind that I’m tethered to.
Maybe the grass is green, but I flick cigarettes into it.
Could be a pageantry of silence with excessive beauty.
They say that's louder than words, but being deafened ruins

all of it.
Honestly, it's hard to quit.
Truthfully, I’m ‘bout to get gone from this
Labyrinth of Awfulness.
Labyrinth of Awfulness.

(Outro)
