about

This track is about being fake and putting on facades. The title comes from a line in a song I wrote a few years back called "Kelly."

lyrics

"Kelly" lyrics:

“Kelly”

Kelly says she’s changed her ways
But introverts like her
Couldn’t change the order of my days
Kelly told me to hush
She says I wouldn’t understand
So she can kill me now or save me later
But don’t offer me her hand

But she doesn’t get it does she
I have some stuff on her
And if she doesn’t want the patronage
Mindless games will kill for sure

For all that it’s worth
Getting yourself in trouble
Is not going to help you out
For all that it’s worth
Getting yourself in trouble
Is not going to get you out

Kelly says she’s vented
That nothing’s in her way
But the personality she rented
Has been due for sixty days
She says I wouldn’t understand
So she can kill me now or save me later
But don’t offer me her hand

What doesn’t Kelly understand?
The proof she’s shown
Doesn’t lend an eager hand
