Every morning when I wake up, can't help feeling alone Get up early put on make up, right there beside you on the telephone 7:30 something's shaking my insides and my bones Feeling something I can't mention Right there bleeding on the side of the road I don't wanna seem Like I'm meaning to be mean But I've seen through this scene And I'm not falling for your pyramid scheme Start it over from the first time, guilt trip with nothing to show Feel your fingers lock in mine, it's the patterns that you want me to know Hit the snooze and keep on dreaming, we got a ways to go Filling shoes and supper scheming What with your arrow and your miniature bow I don't wanna seem Like I'm meaning to be mean But I've seen through this scene And I'm not falling for your pyramid scheme

You only hate me cause I held up a mirror I called you out After reflection it couldn't be clearer Another ceremony You're taking something out You're taking something out You're taking something out on me babe You're taking something out You only hate me cause I held up a mirror After reflection baby it couldn't be clearer You only hate me cause I held up a mirror You only hate me cause I showed you yourself After reflection honey it couldn't be clearer You're just another mantle inside a shell

Tastemaker 04:52
Tying down another helpless clown And if he makes a sound you're gonna come around And put all the faces In there places Out at the races Might have been another point for you And if we're keeping score, I guess I'll keep it to I pulled all the stops out Listened to you shout Now I'll let you see yourself out Sorry baby, baby but I can't play along Disappointing honey but you gotta be strong I know you're thinking, you're thinking that I done you wrong All because I don't wanna sing your song Left it to chance You never wanted to dance You're always out to be the victim of a circumstance The smiling faces Out at the races Standing in the correct places Wouldn't advance You couldn't get in a trance You're always siding with yourself we know you gotta lotta terra cotta Don't think about Shouldn't drink aloud It's never nothing more than wasted Turn on me, you know it's nothing new I'm gonna back you up, I'm gonna make you stew I bring home the bacon Do all the shakin Have a taste of what I'm making Breaking down around bad news You cause a scene because you're so confused He's the baker, you're the faker, I'm the tastemaker

This is a song about moving along Bite the bullet This is a tune about cleaning your room Take the lever down and pull it Sometimes the rain comes Sometimes the pain's numb You better grin and bear it We'll get you sorted Once you've distorted Make up the heir apparent Gonna build a brand new nation, solely based on obligation Where you do what you're supposed to do Holding out for warm relations, here's the secret of creations Listen baby, I am telling you Gotta do what you don't wanna do If you're gonna be the one to see it through Had to do what you don't wanna Didn't want it pressed upon ya Gotta do what you don't wanna do Gotta do what you don't wanna Trying to impress upon ya Gotta do what you don't wanna Couldn't explain the name of your game it's always the same All you ever want to do is play it Down on your luck, with only a buck, you better suck it up Cause the dragon's over there and you gotta slay it Sometimes the rain comes Might make the pain numb You better grin and bear it We'll get you sorted Now you've distorted Make up the heir apparent We built a brand new nation, founded it on obligation Where you do what you're supposed to do Your patience is required, all the guns we got are hired Responsibility's the clue Gotta do what you don't wanna do If you're gonna be the one to see it through Had to do what you didn't wanna Didn't want it pressed upon ya In the pages of time, we drank some wine, felt so divine All the places you've been, wearing you thin, let it sink in

You don't have to have a reason, just somebody's TV show Slight of hand a change of season, everyone except you is in the know They're in the know And you feel as though You're just for show Rooftop banter mumbling something, stashing wine between your toes Second guessing blanket statement, table manners tantra on memory foam On memory foam This is why you roam Out on your own Debbie Downer don't ya drag me down in your big black limousine Sinking feeling that you're wheeling dealing when I'm coming clean I don't need your explanation Now I feel so antiquated, pleasantries turn me to stone Sunlight so anticipated, found yourself parading in emperor's clothes In emperor's clothes From your head to toes Under my nose Debbie Downer don't ya drag me downtown, in your limousine Sitting pretty living in the city and I dig my scene I don't need your admiration
