troy kingi - first take strut lyrics

[verse one]
a clear film over me makes a laminated nosebleed
and my ability to feel – a loneliness i keep close to my chest
floating over the motel, n0body giving me more towels
too much time to k!ll, pink script on the windowsill
i need to find a way to tear up
‘cause you can tell if it’s made up
lighting up the place illuminates your face
see through your flaws

[chorus]
you can hide everything but the eyes
only experience gonna find ways to sell lies
improvise your way out of a tight spot
no way you’re ever gonna get it on the first take

[verse 2]
everybody stand in line, giving digits like a valentine
you ain’t nothing but a number (nothing but a number), we ain’t getting younger
since i stumbled into your line of work – i know i’m late to the fold, so i’ll do what i’m told
(i can’t say no)
ain’t never been n0body’s hot stuff
did i give too much or not enough?
costume on the wall
best bits left on the cutting room floor
[chorus]
you can hide everything but the eyes
only experience gonna find ways to sell lies
improvise your way out of a tight spot
no way you’re ever gonna get it on the first take

[outro]
this is a façade
what you see is only the scars
holding true to the authentic you

fray at the seams
perfect pictures ain’t what they seem
tired eyes they can’t sleep they just scheme

there is a story to tell
gather your people need new personnel
cause a tall tale’s a hard one to sell

the blind leading the blind
in the end – you can’t hide from your mind
flawed is how we are designed
