Lyrics Madame Macabre – Slightly Off

Don’t know when it started this difference in me
Never aimed to offend polite society
Tried to dull my spirit to better fit the mold
But it never seemed to matter ’cause everything’s so cold

Well in the darkness I have always found the light
So burn this witch down if you really feel it’s right
I’m not what you want to see well that’s really sad for you
So curse and condemn me then but your words ain’t getting through

I’m not a devil and no one like you can call themselves a saint
And I know that I may be slightly off but baby that’s okay
You try to hide your flaws behind a cheap coat of paint
But fumes like that will choke you out and you’ll decay
You’ll decay…

We can’t all be perfect sheep in a perfect flock
Sometimes our boats are destined for a different dock
This road has shown me a mindset that is new
But you’ll never see it through your stifling world view

The path may be winding but that doesn’t make it wrong
What’s different in us can often make us strong
So scared of rules and structures yet you claim that you’re free
Then you try to chain and break all those who dare to disagree

I’m not a devil and no one like you can call themselves a saint
And I know that I may be slightly off but baby that’s okay
You try to hide your flaws behind a cheap coat of paint
But fumes like that will choke you out and you’ll decay
You’ll decay…

The really sad part that always makes me scoff
Your «hashtag blessed» life you can’t help but show off
Like you somehow earned it through the holy way you act
But you’re not blessed you’re rich and privileged, honey that’s a fact

I’m not a devil and no one like you can call themselves a saint
And I know that I may be slightly off but baby that’s okay
You try to hide your flaws behind a cheap coat of paint
But fumes like that will choke you out and you’ll decay

I’m not a devil and no one like you can call themselves a saint
And I know that I may be slightly off but baby that’s okay
You try to hide your flaws behind a cheap coat of paint
But fumes like that will choke you out and you’ll decay
You’ll decay
You’ll decay
