The me you
see is a fantsay
A carefully constructed commodity Something someone sold to me But the funny thing is, it doesn't fool me Strip down a layer Bling bling off a playa' I ca'n really say I've got much to hide What lies inside Beneath inscripted skin What lies within? But first... There's a map written in permanent ink And some stories that might make you think And the places where there's heat and hair Let those wait. There's enough on your plate. Mira... Here I once could see the bone. In this knee the camera wasn't alone For these I flew But not high enough and these 'cause the road is sometimes rough For these I laughed 'til I was in tears And for these I've suffered lecherous stares |
And
this I chose 'cause I wanted to say There's beauty and pain, love and hate In every heart that's worth its weight And in this heart? Between these thighs? What do I see when I look through these eyes? I can't tell you the tears I cried Or show you the place where I said no but he did anyway Or the one's who helped heal me and blew me away Or the friends who listened when I had something to say Or who I am when I'm alone Or what it feels like to know I can never go home And finally to know that I make my home HERE And the me everyone sees is a fantasy The same one they tried to sell to me But I didn't buy it because I believe I'm the only thing I'll ever get free |
