lyrics

It's a trick to me.
How you do that thing where the guys wind themselves round your fingers like string. You call it poetry. I call puppetry.
(I'm hanging.)

It's a trick to me.
Yeh I've seen it spread across bars but I'm pretty sure you nailed him in 8 beats. Shrink my verses cos nothing good rhymes with summer.
(what a bummer.)

That difference is ours. I'm shadow, you're stars.

It's a trick to me.
How you filled that room, how all the guys trail in your wake like perfume. I'm just nosing. I know nothing.
(Haven't you noticed?)

It's a trick to me.
(Is it a trick to you?)
Yeh Jun, it's a trick to me
But it's a trip for her.
All those free drank nights. I'd probably do the same if I could get it right. Lose some weight and dye my hair for the summer.
(I'd become her.)

That difference is ours. I'm shadow, you're stars.
You are tattoos and I am scars, I am essays, you are art.

I could write it all down, could you love me for it?

It's a trick to me, but I'm slain by the audacity, and that's the dichotomy. Yeh ya boy's got a dictionary and I can say it all.
