lirik lagu this jumped-up boy in livery – kites

[verse 1: matthew phillips]
spend far too much of my time
perfecting this glamorous lie
the truth is i’m terrified
my words aren’t more than fey hyperbole
my grand deceit now engulfs me
i’ve lost that boy i used to be

[chorus: matthew phillips]
if i’m such a wit and such a scream
if i ignite hearts and inflame dreams
then why, oh why, do i fail to succeed?
i’m just a jumped-up boy in livery

[verse 2: matthew phillips]
the mask’s worn as thin as my garb
and it blisters and scars
it’s the burden that you never see
superficiality never meant that much to me
you said that i’m a poet, you said i’d surely make it
d-mn my vanity, your flattery

[chorus: matthew phillips]
if i’m such a wit and such a scream
if i ignite hearts and inflame dreams
then why, oh why, do i fail to succeed?
i’m just a jumped-up boy in livery

[pre-chorus: matthew phillips]
the reality’s much more mundane
i draw my words from books and tapes
steal melodies of songs i sing
my tapestry of rotten things
i don’t want your pity or your scorn
just plain indifference will keep me warm

[chorus: matthew phillips]
if i’m such a wit and such a scream
if i ignite hearts and inflame dreams
then why, oh why, do i fail to succeed?
i’m just a jumped-up boy in livery
