vox manicka - machiavelli lyrics

Loading...

why do i envy everyone? want to be like everyone?
is it because i see intrinsic beauty in them all?
or am i simply jealous of the praise the cruel receive?
do i really wanna to climb, or would i rather watch them fall?

i wanna be a narcissist
i want the courage to dismiss
this notion that i’m made of flaws
the damage i manage to cause

those with the urge to bruise and maim
seem rarely saddled down with shame
oh, wouldn’t it be freeing to be
a little morе like machiavelli?

no matter thе cost, just keep play, play, playing the game
when all is lost, i’ll at least still have my shame

i wish i could befriend my ego
humility’s got her claws in me, though
resentment’s what we call desire
when we all hate what we admire
and self+love don’t come easy
when you’re scared of acting sleazy
so, i wonder what it’d be like to be
a little more like machiavelli
no matter the cost, just keep play, play, playing the game
when all is lost, i’ll still have myself to blame

is your freedom really free
if the buy+in is so steep
that you need a godd+mn leg up just to stand?
cause no one’s gonna hold your hand
where the water’s cold and dark
and full of sharks who will blame you when you bleed

in a world as cruel as ours, empathy’s not fit for the faint of heart
care responsibly and with caution
don’t let your insides soften ’til they’re rotten
compassion is a vicious drug; know your limit before you start
