It's Complicated Lyrics - Propaganda

We are often our own demise 

And I am becoming procrastination 

But you are so often so wrong about you and you don't even know it 

Self-identified as particleboard, paper maché, duct taped 

And we are wrong, and right, and confused 

It's complicated, but so is a star 

A flower, a quasar, a friendship, a marriage 

May we be refuge for the complicated 

And as for me, well, I have zipped up my emotions into this dusty duffle bag I've aptly named poetry 

And I'll be on my merry way as soon as my pride turns me loose 

And unmangle the last morsel of manhood I can produce 

Ma'am, I seem to have misplaced my confidence 

Last place I've seen it, it was at the altar of your love 

It's complicated 

And I am becoming complicated

HOT SONG: Billie Eilish - 'bad guy (with Justin Bieber)' - LYRICS 

We may scratch ourselves raw to erase the image we were made in 

Smoke, snort, sex or drown out the silence 

We may waste our life-savings on makeovers 

To try to rhinoplast our daddy's nose away 

But no nip, no tuck could cut away the sense of obligation 

We are becoming what we're not 

But what we are is inescapable 

You are a masterpiece fighting to be a silly selfie with a hideous filter 

You are heaven's handmade calligraphy 

Slumming it among papyrus fonts 

You are the complete and perfect works 

Of a perfect and eternal poet laureate 

With a laundry list of identity issues 

And sometimes your plumbing don't match your urges 

But your femininity it forced a force field that protected our posterity 

Your masculinity, it mustered up moxey 

To conquer mountains for our families 

You are the rightful heirs to not just a kingdom 

But a universe and you have your daddy's eyes 

Stop being so traitorous 

You are Revelation revealed 

Pyramid constructors, conductors, conduits of lightning 

Yet you speak and you breathe arsenic carcinogenics 

And it causes car sickness 

These scars are our witness 

To love hard is hard living, but it's life 

It's who you are 

It's messy and uncomfortable 

And complicated 

But so is a star, and parenting, childbirth, and love 

And us 

And us
