Jaunty boogie ruminating on a fairly simple theme. Vastly improved from the demo, wow.

I felt the theme of being yourself has become really cliched in modern songs so I tried to put an original spin on it. The main message is "don't put yourself in parentheses", as in don't sell yourself short for ease of documentation by the people you meet.

Sometimes it’s easier
To deal with you as a footnote
Collected actions and reactions
Ready at a moments glance
Sometimes I can forget you’re a person
The way you talk in lyric lines
Is so mechanic sometimes
You can’t fool me
Angry and cold

There’s so much more possible
Than you will ever know

I have no illusions that these
Lines are remotely romantic
For a time I tried and failed
And have no desire to do that sh*** again
You have potential that is leaking
Through that exterior of a
Hardcore girl with no philosophy
It’s kind of hard to see
What you never show

There’s so much more possible
Than you will ever know

I’ve been where you’ve been before
Walked the dirty streets
And wound up crawling on the floor
Come join me in my little circle
Where innocence is treasured
And forever is adored
You can’t fool me
You can’t fool me

There’s so much more possible
Than you will ever know
