I’ve never been one to lust,

But must we be lovers?

Why so pushy? What’s the rush?

I’m so sick, call it teenage fever

My whole life ahead of me,

Yet I’m in bed sick,

Sick to my head of teenage fever

Which one will I pick? Expecting the first one is the

In our world, hearts are different after dark,

Night is truth; we can’t hide it after all

Monogamic challenges, bounds run far

You ever had Kim and wanted Kendall?

Roll my emotions into paper,

Tu dois brûler leurs livres,

Don’t recall words when you meet them

En feu. En feu. Pourquoi tu dois fumer?

Burn feelings away everyday,

Numbness is our only security,

“The world is your stage”, they say

Only way to deal with the stage fright,

18 months to prep the play,

Errors lead to a restart each night,

The plight of the emotionless celebrity

“I worry since the smoke hurts you”

Oh if only you knew,

What happens at the rendez-vous

Of the agents tasked to destroy you

Especially easy to look into a glass screen

Too busy projecting to reflect,

Especially when the reflection is you
