ATTENTION WHORE

          ATTENTION WHORE

Turns out I been lied to for a long time
Life does not just work itself out
Things eventually falling into place
Is shit people say when they dont believe enough to put it in Gods hands
And those who put it on the lords plate
Are those who cant carry the weight
How fast the fun fades with age
But I know I heard right
I remember what I was told
And the only truth I seem to find
Is it does warm up after being cold
But everybody having a soulmate
That might be false hope that makes us all buy in
And being able to be anything you want to be
Is parents praying their kids do better then them
It's a crazy world we are all locked up in
Laugh at those who think they are free
Remember what Pac said
You ain't got to be in jail to be doing time

Sweeten up the lies
Sprinkle sugar over the salt you pack on the wound
Treat the youth as if their blind
Underestimate how smart these kids are
Hard to force the fantasy of a magical after life
Cause from the outside
Sounds like the craziest shit ever said
Usually from those scared of the life they lived
The idea of a fictional character with horns and a pitchfolk
Living underground with a eternal fire
Loves torture and the smell of burnt flesh
First name Satan
Last name Dumar
Anywho just a story passed down from one to the next
A virgin mother , angels and walking on water
People dont kneel just to pray
Hiding their face in shame
Knowing the book they quote holds alot of hate
I'll walk every pew collecting every one
The song books too
Then snatch the offering plate
Stack it all up beside a pile of shit
Ask the conjugation what the difference is
One pile is plain shit
No disguise
And the other tries to trick you with lies and fake shit
Making it bullshit
Sorry I had to be the one to show the true shit

A tree, your dog , shoes or yourself
I believe in letting people believe whatever they want to believe in
Whats a life without hope
Like having a yacht that won't float
So worried how we look on the outside
That we're killing our self inside
Afraid to seek help
So we blame it on the next
Perfection and facts
Both bullshit
It's a opinion based world
But please hold yours in
I'm stuck in my ways
And unless your a five nine blonde with an ass
I won't even listen
Not one for  to much change
I'm not trying to pretend
I'm no better nor do I know better
And probably know less then next
But this world is my heaven
And you people are my God's
People believing in people
That could change the world
But then again who am I
Just a guy trying to put letters in order  to make some words
Maybe form a few sentences to catch your attention...

Attention ...

Attention whore
I'm a whore for attention
See I am just like you
