Methodically cruel, I’ll bend the rules
Cunning and crude in baby blue
Have it rough to start, but I’ll steal your heart
Cautionary tales ain’t nothing new
Lonely as hell in asphalt heavens I’m paving
For the one I was sold was cracked beyond saving
Aesthetically charmed, fundamentally vacant
Ecstatic as hell, I’m Teresa-adjacent
I was closest to God on the boulevard
But chasing fever dreams only went so far
If things went my way, they won’t fall astray
No matter how twisted the games I’ll play
I’ll handle the fumes if it means I’ll make it
This ground was paved only to engrave
Rocking altruism as a fashion statement
We’re no saints, but I’m Teresa-adjacent
I could be the jester
Or the serial queen
Of every single beating heart that lies unseen
Nothing good comes easy, but you bet it makes you hard
Harness my identity ‘til it’s time to discard
I’m only the winner of the games that I create
You can deem it prophecy or call it cursed fate
Through one lens, I’m a loser
Another, I’m a god
Anonymity is the only truth
So give it all you’ve got
Lonely as hell in asphalt heavens I’m paving
For the one I was sold was cracked beyond saving
Aesthetically charmed, fundamentally vacant
Ecstatic as hell, I’m Teresa-adjacent
