This Is My Poker Face ---> :) - (8-5-2016) [Live in St. Louis]

Are you entertained?

Are we everything you hoped for?

Good

Cause screams and smiles ain't really what we go for no more

Results of being in a cold war with my own ego

I'm floating on an ocean of solipsism, no shore

I got a text from my ex

It said, "An artist, by definition, can never belong

The bird does not sing because it has an answer

It sings because it has a song"

Well maybe my songs are songs

And my microphone is pointing God's finger

Maybe I'm a prophet wearing the mask of a pop singer

Maybe I'm a sociopath

Hoping the mainstream media picks me next

Maybe I'm a fake

I'm just here for the money and the free sex

Maybe I'm just trying to get my tour bus

Moving as fast as the Earth spins

But in the opposite direction

So I'll finally feel like I'm standing still then

Maybe I'm on the brink of enlightenment

I'm David reincarnate

Maybe I just didn't figure out how to separate

My love from my hate

Wait

Maybe my bar is too high

Thus my heart is still on the shelf

Maybe I'm just scared of putting time and commitment

Into anything but myself

Maybe beauty is more easily seen by the untrained eye

Maybe it's impossible to be the voice of a generation

And somebody's boyfriend at the same time

Maybe I'm headed for a disaster

I'm inching towards hell

Or maybe I'm on the tip of something magnificent

Only time will tell

Maybe having no shtick has become my shtick

Maybe I only smile on stage and back there I'm a dick

Maybe I never took that pill in Ibiza

I made it up, I know what sells

You're here

Maybe Mike Posner's a fake name, I'm really somebody else

Maybe I'm Illuminati

A mathematician, an engineer

Or maybe I really am Mike Posner

One sixth of the dopest fucking band you'll ever hear

Maybe I'm what it looks like

When God moves at a slower pace

I'll never tell you who I really am

Because this, this is my poker face
