It’s Not Likely

Sidetracked time lapse
Who knows how much of it is past
I know I don't
But I'm not looking for the facts
I'm looking for somebody to distract
Me from being haunted by the past
But fighting ghosts with
Phantoms never works, in fact
Put them in a ring they'll both collapse
Tried it now I'm only left with ash

'Cause I'm in love with delusion
I'm in love with a dream
Show me someone I can count on
I'll show you someone I would leave
That's me

Was this always the way I was supposed to be?
Don't remember always being such a creep
Is that what growing up's supposed to mean?
Turning into liars, cheats, and thieves
Acting like we think we ought to be
Until we're all just bad
Cartoons of human beings
With animated eyes too wide to weep

So I'm in love with an actor
I'm in love with a cheat
Show me someone I can capture
I'll show you someone I'd release
That's me

If Jason says he thinks I've hit my peak
Then tell me how much lower can I be, I guess
I think I'm gonna have to disagree
Otherwise it's all over for me

'Cause I'm in love with delusion
I'm in love with deceit
Show me someone I believe in
And maybe somehow I'll be free
But it's not likely oh, it's not likely
