In Poor Taste

Kasane Teto

Compositor: Chromatic

Hate it when that happens
Love it when it's not me
Do I lack compassion, though?
I am just as guilty, oh

You can play the game, and if not
Be okay with getting played!
Do you even hear the things I say?
I don't want to be saved

I am dancing upon the edge of a knife
Lights, camera, survey, I'm blinded by light

I cannot pander to all of your tastes
I bet you'd shudder if you took my place
If something I did made you feel that way
Then I guess it really was in poor taste!

One bad step, and then I have to scramble to save face
Picture perfect placement, I can't have any mistakes!
Faked the perfect dinner, now the truth is off the plate
Pandering to all, stay in line or stay out of frame!

Hold that pose, don't get too close
Roll it, roll it
Wait, hold it, just one moment
Slow it, slow it

Cut, retake, leave no mistakes
Cut it, cut it
Light and sound, now cut that out
Not it, not it

Who I am is not who they see
I'm not who I want to be
Doesn't really matter if it's real if it is not revealed

I cannot pander to all of your tastes
I bet you'd shudder if you took my place
If something I did made you feel that way
Then I guess it really was in poor taste!

One bad step, and then I have to scramble to save face
Picture perfect placement, I can't have any mistakes!
Faked the perfect dinner, now the truth is off the plate
Pandering to all, stay in line or stay out of frame!
