Poolside

What's the word that I need to describe to my people the things that I've seen
And ensure that I don't miss a single damn thing whilst I'm here
I work hard so I need an escape from the same old shit that I've been seeing
So ensure that I don't do a single damn thing whilst I'm here

Here's the first thing that you asked for so what else would you have me do, for you
Anything but truth and answers so I cannot leave my review, of you
You're setting yourself up for poolside revenge, burning your skin to pretend for a minute that you're someone else
I'm in a place where I can't even finish my sentences for myself and I just want your deal, your deal

What's the word that I need to describe to my people the things that I've seen
And ensure that they don't get American dreams whilst you're here
I work hard too you see and despite my appearance I burst at the seams
but I'll stitch it all back up adorn everything with veneer

You're setting yourself up for poolside revenge, burning your skin to pretend for a minute that you're someone else
I'm in a place where I can't even finish my sentences for myself and I just want your deal, your deal
We're setting ourselves up for false hope, pretence, burning our skin to pretend for a minute that we're someone else
Dreaming of places we can't even finish our sentences for ourselves and we just want your deal, your deal

Here's the first thing that you asked for so what else would you have me do, for you
Anything but truth and answers so I cannot leave my review, of you

Can't you see my heart is not a thing to be messed with just like yours ain't, just like yours ain't
All I want is half of everything that you call yours then ignore me, justice for me
Here's the first thing that you asked for so what else would you have me do, for you

Can't you see my heart is not a thing to be messed with just like yours ain't, just like
