lyrics

I spent all morning painting self portraits
But nothing compares to my reflection
It's not wasting time if I still enjoy it
Up all night perfecting my smile
Nine out of ten recommend flying
Twenty five thousand miles just to see me

I wear disguise all the time
When I set foot outside
It's an unusual ordeal
I wear disguises to hide
From captivated eyes
Of people that realize who I am

Out all evening freely dream weaving
Discernible charm can be deceiving
Better think quick and you might reap the benefits
My pilot light ignites a brighter fire
You'll be the city rat on trial
Better be wise to lie and compromise my paradise

I wear disguise all the time
When I set foot outside
It's an unusual ordeal
I wear disguises to hide
From captivated eyes
Of people that realize
I'm getting higher with time
And I might end your life
With the illusion of a plan
I'll wear my darkest attire
And I'll pretend to cry
But inside I'll beam with pride for what I've done

Don't you dare ask for my confession
And don't you dare say I've got imperfections
If I'm your king then where the fucks my crown?
And my throne
I'm sick and tired of feeling alone
And I'm not flying
But I'm sick and tired of looking down
