A Social State - Aging Egomaniac Lyrics

A Social State – Aging Egomaniac Lyrics

I get lost at home drinking all alone.
I’m an aging egomaniac.
I rehearse my words to enforce my worth,
still I’m fading like a photograph.
I’m perverted, and manic. I take my time.
I’m 25 going out of my mind.
I get lost in the mirror, have I made it clear?
I’m an aging egomaniac.

CHORUS:
But in front of you I’m always a gentlemen.
But in front of you I’m always a gentlemen.

I make it sound so great just to see you sulk.
I’m a burnt out Cobain wannabe.
I play the part of a poet who’s addicted to drugs
in a B list no one came to see.
I am violence, impatient with the kids downtown.
It’s not who I’m supposed to be right now.
I get lost in the mirror, have I made it clear?
I’m a burnt out Cobain wannabe.

CHORUS:
But in front of you I’m always a gentlemen.
But in front of you I’m always a gentlemen.

Money lies to your lonesome eyes,
and It makes you hate the love you hold inside.
What if money could buy you a real way to hide?
Well, I’d rather just lay here with you and not get up.

CHORUS:
But in front of you I’m always a gentlemen
But in front of you I’m always a gentlemen.
