jonathan young - bait lyrics
[verse 1]
i’ve been scared to stop and survey
all the choices that i made
like i’ve barely beat addiction
but i keep the price i paid
and if i’m older, if i’m jaded
and now that i’ve made it for so long
playing someone else’s game
and singing someone else’s song
and if my pencil and my anger
can agree to summarize
if i’m real, i know
i’ll never be surprised
[chorus]
it seems like everybody, everybody
makes the same mistakes
it seems like everybody, everybody’s
just so f-ckin’ fake
and i’m a hypocrite, i know
with that b-tton down below
just be careful when you choose to take the bait
[verse 2]
so with our little lies, we optimize
the pictures on the screen
and we don’t talk about the high we get
from knowing who might see
and like a king who loves his throne
i know the guilty will excuse
how we project our insecurities
and we know it gets more views
tell the children in my church
that mediocrity’s unique
and i can sell the validation that they seek
[chorus]
it seems like everybody, everybody
makes the same mistakes
it seems like everybody, everybody’s
just so f-ckin’ fake
and i’m a hypocrite, i know
with that b-tton down below
just be careful when you choose to take the bait
[bridge]
i didn’t enjoy this
breaking my excuses down
i know why i avoid it
comfortable to sell a sound
and if i hold to honesty
i fell for my own con, but see
that sh-t that i was then is over now
[chorus]
it seems like everybody, everybody
makes the same mistakes
it seems like everybody, everybody’s
just so f-ckin’ fake
and i’m a hypocrite, i know
with that b-tton down below
just be careful when you choose
you never know what you might lose
just be careful when you choose to take the bait
