Confidence Game

[Chorus]
I got a knee-jerk reaction to raise my voice
Likely caused some shit
There's something going on behind your eyes
I can feel it

[Post-Chorus]
But things are gonna get worse
Before they get better
So you better hurry up and wait
This confidence game seems so clever
Guess everyone's on the take

[Verse 1]
They pat your back, then pick your pocket with eye contact and peddle the cure
A pack of rats in a vat of cotton working graveyard shifts to try and fix the score
You never see 'em come, you never see 'em go
Always running from something, don't they seem to flow?
Ghost notes in minor tone
Hand to God, no one knows

[Chorus]
I got a knee-jerk reaction to raise my voice
Likely caused some shit
There's something going on behind my eyes
You can feel it

[Post-Chorus]
Everyone keeps getting worse
They keep getting better
Better realize what's at stake
It's a confidence scam
Right down to the letter
See on through the treachery

[Verse 2]
I'll run you down when you're running game
I'll pay attention, better check that change
For the counterfeit, they're all around you, kid
Might look alike, but the feeling ain't the same
Keep an arm's length, at least give yourself
Some free space between handshakes and hand grenades

[Bridge]
No one says

[Chorus]
I got a knee-jerk reaction to raise my voice
Likely caused some shit
There's something going on inside your eyes
I can feel it
I got a knee-jerk reaction to raise my voice
Likely caused some shit
There's something going on behind my eyes
You can feel it
