Society takes me as someone I'm not

Like i should put on an act

And have feelings not rot

But thats not fact

Cuz when you act outta style

Your bound to be found

And sentenced denial

How Shallow Am I ?

[Verse 1]

All my life I have been chosen for something

And posing for nothing

And being someone else

Thats beyond my nature

And theirs no Legislature

To stop me from acting

And make me stop slacking

I've never been comfy

Making my life seem so love free

But sometimes thats just how it looks

So I get buried in books

And long for that ending

And my life keeps on bending

Every which way

And I have nowhere to stay

Because I'm shallow

Well thats what I'm told

And all these shoulders are cold

I don't understand why they think I'm not deep

When I'm screamin at them about the hill being steep

Theres no way to overcome

When your stuck at the bottom

And theres noone to help you

Because you already got 'em

[Chorus]

And if.... Society takes me as someone I'm not

Like i should put on an act

And have feelings not rot

But thats not fact

Cuz when you act outta style

Your bound to be found

And sentenced denial

How Shallow Am I ?

[Verse 2] When the odds are against me

And I dont even know me

Because I've always done for the fact that I'm blatant

And never asked for compensation

Then I ask myself questions

That I know have no answers

But I keep on asking, like someone might glance here

But I hide inside my own little world

Like your looking in and I am the attraction

Because society labels me

And they can never possible see

Why I hate the fact that this world is so discreet

But then I look in the mirror and realize that....

[Chorus]

Society takes me as someone I'm not

Like i should put on an act

And have feelings not rot

But thats not fact

Cuz when you act outta style

Your bound to be found

And sentenced denial

How Shallow Am I?
