gatsby - meshell ndegéocello lyrics

[verse 1: mesh*ll ndegeocello]
i built a castle out of trees and pretty scenes
i woke up and it was missing
it wasn’t real, it wasn’t real
i loved a woman who turned out to be
an ideal thing, i woke up and she’s different
oh wow
it wasn’t real
it wasn’t real

[chorus: mesh*ll ndegeocello & joan as policewoman]
i’ve been saying things i don’t believe
i’ve been doing things that just ain’t me (or is it me?)
but knowing that this can continue
but i keep on living the same way

[verse 2: mesh*ll ndegeocello]
trapped in the future, that’s so far ahead
i live the past and i’d rather pretend
it isn’t real, it isn’t real
a version of self that erases thе mirror
so i changed my appearance
and go out for dinnеr with people
it hurt to be noticed
and they talk just alike and they argue for thrills
it’s just never too real
[chorus: mesh*ll ndegeocello & joan as policewoman]
i’ve been saying things i don’t believe
i’ve been doing things that just ain’t me (or is it me?)
been knowing that this can continue
but i keep on living the same way

[bridge: mesh*ll ndegeocello]
but you didn’t know me then
while i wasn’t a n0body’s friend
i wanted what all men want
to be in good company
and go around breaking things
and never think about fixing
can’t let it go now, won’t let it go
i been living the type of life i see in moves
it’s unsustainable
i’ve been practicing on a new accent, new stories
might be more relatable
while i end up with the same d*mn clothes on
i thought of so individual
went to the east, make sure you take some pictures
you know it’s all about the visual
(pretty pretty things)

[chorus: mesh*ll ndegeocello & joan as policewoman]
i’ve been saying things i don’t believe (i can’t be another)
i’ve been doing things that just ain’t me (or is it me?)
been knowing that this can continue
but i keep on living the same way
i’ve been saying things i don’t believe
i’ve been doing things that just ain’t me (or is it me?)
i’m selfish for my independence
but i keep on living the same way
