Persona

You are a visitor with no claim

It must be offered for you to remain

You are welcome, but don't overstay

Don't forget we can will you away

Concession given, optics driven

Illusion superseding something real

Is it authentic or purely aesthetic?

We're all waiting for the big reveal

Fuck

You

You fucking reek of conceit (Desperately you seek in vain)

You're outta place (Pandering for selfish gain)

Always in my way (Pedestrian with no claim)

You're outta place (You burn yourself at the stake)

Concession given, optics driven

Illusion superseding something real

Is it authentic or purely aesthetic?

We're all waiting for the big, big reveal

The gulf between what you are with others and what you are alone

The vertigo and the constant hunger to be exposed

Every inflection and every gesture a lie

Don't forget your fucking place, ha

Don't forget that

There are common things at play

So you can't expect us to pray

You're picky with it, not unique

Your secret's out, let's eat cake

To forget this
