The Art of Deception Lyrics

So insecure and uninspired.
I never sleep so I’m always tired
I try to listen but I’m too wired
put up a front so I don’t get fired.

I try too hard be smart and funny
pretend like there’s more to my life than money
I’ve given up on achieving perfection
but I have perfected the art of deception.

So inconsistent and overrated
rip out my heart while my egos deflated
I get a kick out of being persisted
push me away and I craze the resistance

Keeping your secrets is too confidential
spreading the lie that has too much potential
Call me fake
Call me lost and conceited
I may be weak but I wont be defeated

hey!
All of my confidence
is completely counterfeit
I said
hey!
All of my confidence
is completely counterfeit.
Life is a hazy days
Chaotic just got paid.
It’s getting me high,
but making me low.
I feel so shallow
I feel so shallow
hey!
All of my confidence
is completely counterfeit
I said
hey!
All of my confidence
is completely counterfeit.
Life is a hazy days
Chaotic just got paid.
It’s getting me high,
but making me low.
I feel so shallow
I feel so shallow

How To Call A Bluff

Entertain The Pain

So insecure and uninspired.
I never sleep so I’m always tired
I try to listen but I’m too wired
put up a front so I don’t get fired.

I try too hard be smart and funny
pretend like there’s more to my life than money
I’ve given up on achieving perfection
but I have perfected the art of deception.

So inconsistent and overrated
rip out my heart while my egos deflated
I get a kick out of being persisted
push me away and I craze the resistance

Keeping your secrets is too confidential
spreading the lie that has too much potential
Call me fake
Call me lost and conceited
I may be weak but I wont be defeated

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
