You Know That I Know

Plastic's.

Say it to my face girl

I know what you’re thinking

So don’t judge me

God knows why I’m singing

You dont even know me

You dont even wanna know

Keep being fake bitch

Still outsmart you though

Are you even happy?

Are you that shallow?

What I want to know is

How you got to hollow

Always acting like a good girl

Cookie cutter, vanilla swirl

At least have the decency

To turn around and look at me

What is it that you really wanna say

I guarantee that the price was paid

For why your judging me

Just speak freely

I promise I won’t bite

Like to love not to fight

Elephant in the room

Please be gone by tonight

Certain conversations

Just need to be had

Family drama family secrets

Just makes me so sad

Also very misunderstood

Thought you would

Be understanding

Really thought you could

Get out of my head

Enough of the grief

Bad wolfs been fed

Good wolfs ready to eat

Positivity is filling me

Venting how I feel

Knowing that its real

Letting thoughts free

Free from the cage

Of my mind

Imagine dealing with this shit

All the time

Racing thoughts

Strange ideals

Much appeal

But what is real?

Lesson 1 on reality

Can’t be taken for a dream

Not just a technicality

Not everythings what is seems

What if logic stops making sense?

You’d be on the fence

Trying to decipher

What your mind just heard

Tricky tricky Nikki

Not your basic white girl

She dont like getting sticky

Makes her wanna hurl

Maybe you’re trying to be brave

Not saying shit to my face

Afraid of what I’ll do and say

Sorry im a fucking maniac, okay?
