[Verse 1]
I did do those things on purpose
I'm an expert in my field
I'll pull out my pockets perfect
Other tricks up my sleeve still
Are you treading water gently?
Or are you the current still?
Yeah, just stand and smile politely and
Internalize the thrill

[Chorus]
Yeah, did I make you some promise?
To be bound to struggle still?
To a decade lived dishonest where at
Least the feeling's real
I think, I hope it's real

[Verse 2]
So come on, let's hang up all the
Moments that get in the way
Where you feel like you're a human party trick to entertain

[Chorus]
Yeah, did I make you some promise?
To be bound to struggle still?
To a decade lived dishonest where at
Least the feeling's real
I think, I hope it's real
[Chorus]
Yeah, did I make you some promise?
To be bound to struggle still?
To a decade lived dishonest where at
Least the feeling's real

[Outro Chorus]
Yeah, so now that I'm the artist
I can paint the picture pale
I can twist my words, the overture
To finally feel what's real
I think, I hope it's real
