Georgia van Etten - Painted People Lyrics

Colour, cut it
Long as it shows what you wanted
You can make it or, fake it easy
If you try you might believe it
Do you need it when you're on your own
Does it make you feel good that glitter and gold
Mirroring the perfect mould
Coz we all learn to be what we're sold

So here we go the masquerade
Of painted people on your screen display
Painting what they wanna show
So here we go

Here we go oh
Here we go ah hee
Hey hee

Filter, smile
You've got what you wanted it's all worthwhile
If you make it you can take it easy
If they don't like it just delete it
You can hide what you wanna hide
But you cannot erase the hurt inside
Believe me baby I've denied
To be just me's the hardest thing I've tried

So here we go the masquerade
Of painted people on your screen display
Painting what they wanna show
So here we go

Here we go oh
Here we go ah hee
Hey hee

So I guess the problem isn't in the painting
But what the painter's too afraid to show
So go ahead and fix your hair and makeup
But don't you makeup somebody you don't know

So here we go the masquerade
Of painted people on your screen display
Painting what they wanna show
So here we go

Here we go oh
Here we go ah hee
Ah hee
Ah hee, oh
Ah hee
