Shock Value

[Verse 1]
I like to make 'em smile
Telling lies right to their face
They call me sinister and vile
God I live to entertain
I choose a character in style
Play it up just like a game
This ain't Monopoly
They take me in, they start a trial
Yeah they think that I'm insane
But they love watching me

[Chorus]
I give them just enough
Like a free preview
They all like the show
But it's nothing new
I do all the things they're afraid to do
Call it shock value

[Verse 2]
I think that she's a mess
By that I really mean myself
She takes over my head
Like I'd become somebody else
And I smile but I'm dead
Like I climb six feet down
They call it metamorphosis
'Til they taste the blood on my mouth

[Chorus]
I give them just enough
Like a free preview
They all like the show
But it's nothing new
I do all the things they're afraid to do
Call it shock value

[Bridge]
I get home at six AM
Just feeling dirty again
Take a shower to wash off my sins
The holy water is burning my skin
Can I get it all off my chest?
Confessing to a God that don't exist

[Chorus]
Gave them just enough
Like a free preview
They all liked the show
But it won't be renewed
I did all the things they're afraid to do
Call it shock value
Call it shock value
Shock value
