Counterfeit
Never quite a musician
I was never a fan of the pedestal
Its a moronic position
But they always seem to have a plan for me
Say "I'll take you far"
"You'll be a star"
"You'll write the past"
Your expectations leave you disappointed
(It's not me!)
Go on and make me a product
Something to behold and show off
Say "I taught him what he knows"
"And look at him go"
(Oh, fuck off)
But nothing's gonna stay the same
When you announce my name
Treat me like the others
Let me make my fucking mistake
I'm better off without the lights here
Let me tend to my devices
Don't try to make me something
When I don't know who the fuck I am
Underwhelming disappointment
Another star off the shortlist
Don't try to make me something
When what I'm made of is Counterfeit
Don't try to make me something
When what I'm made of is Counterfeit
Always told to keep pushing
Break my limits it'll set me free
But my limbs will keep on extending
Break my back, heart attack
It's always what I can't be
Ahead of the bell curve
Above the average
I'll make my mark
Have you ever stopped
And wondered?
(That what if?)
You praise a child for his conduct
Say he's better than the rest and then you make him lead
And you never tell him 'bout the fall off
Academic Weapon to Academic Victim
You put him
Down when you're not happy with the performance
But you put all those eyes on him!
Go on and make me a product
Something to behold and show off
Say "I taught him what he knows"
"And look at him go"
(Oh, fuck off)
But nothing's gonna stay the same
When you announce my name
Treat me like the others
Let me make my fucking mistake
I'm better off without the lights here
Let me tend to my devices
Don't try to make me something
When I don't know who the fuck I am
Underwhelming disappointment
Another star off the shortlist
Don't try to make me something
When what I'm made of is Counterfeit
Don't try to make me something
When what I'm made of is Counterfeit
I'm better off without the lights here
Let me tend to my devices
Don't try to make me something
When I don't know who the fuck I am!
Underwhelming disappointment
Another star off the shortlist
Don't try to make me something
When what I'm made of is Counterfeit
(Better off without the lights here)
(I don't know who I am)
Don't try to make me something

(I don't know who I am)
Don't try to make me something
When what I am is Counterfeit
