The Long Con

from Untruth by Darth Nater

/

lyrics

i'm not confident, man
i'm a confidence man
scamming myself
lying to everyone else

i have this recurring dream
where you thrust a jewel-encrusted trident through me
and we both laugh and laugh and laugh uncontrollably
i have this weird fantasy
where I'm trapped in a submarine 30,000 ft deep
and I'm running out of air to breathe
and I feel so guilty that i feel so relieved

i get out of bed
drop my heavy head
there’s a civil war era bayonet stuck through my heaving chest
and the grey-green bile drips down my stick-thin legs
it collects in a pool until i’ve got nothing left
i die and then i wake up
but i still feel the effects

i'm not confident, man
i'm a confidence man
scamming myself
lying to everyone else
i'm not confident, man
i'm a confidence man
scamming myself
lying to everyone else
