"People Posture Play Pretend (arcane)" lyrics

- and get excited for a moment
But like a candle underwater
It puts a bullet through the showman

But I'm giving it back tomorrow
And they can keep it at their bedside
I'll paint a pattern on the window
And watch them try to hit the broadside

I just aim for the end of the day
And sleeping through the morning, it's always the same
But I won't sit around, only wait, I will change it to go my way

But can you make it on your own
When your self is on the mend?
Well, you can fake a status quo
A passive poem, psyche-penned
But can it get you very far?
Oh, it's a road without an end
But everybody plays a part
The people posture, play pretend

Oh, it's a ruby colored Wednesday
And I can feel it getting faster
I'm simply flown along the flyway

But I can't decide if I want to wander
A vagabond along the roadside
It's always easier to ponder
With all the fates remaining tongue-tied

I just aim for the end of the show
And sleeping through the chorus, it's all that I know
But I can play a part, take it slow, and I'll bask in the spotlight glow

But can you make it on your own
When your self is on the mend?
Well, you can ride along the flow
A proud performance, pure pretense
But can it get you very far?
Or are you stuck inside the trend?
Well, you can pass the prosy par
When people posture, play pretend

I was never book-smart, I'm money smart
Makes me more intelligent
Call me Mr. Rock Festival, I got hella bends
Shawty cute and her circle too
Told her get a friend
She gon' make me slide with my dog like I'm Mega Man
