lyrics

Come close
Lay low
Don't make a show

Your own
Unknown
One time sideshow

One lone
Age old
Roll call resold

Fool's gold
A black rose
Dressed in sheep's clothes

'Cause the real me, real me
Ain't nothing you'd like
You thought you knew me, but there's a new me
For every day and night

Oo-hoo, how lucky for you
I've got just the one you need
From the face you remember to the voice that you know
And what you get is everything you see

By the time you've solved the crime
The present's just rewrapped
Face value ain't worth a dime
When you fall for all the same traps

Wondering
Have you seen
The last of me

Casualty
Of a skin deep
Game of hide and seek

Heartbeat
Slow creep
When it's time to feed

No need
To speak
I know just who to be

To reel you, reel you
Hook, sinker, and line
Peel right through you
And grab the heart inside

Well well, how lucky am I?
To find a heart so sweet
With pretty little feelings and funny little dreams
And a teeny little crush on me

It was only a matter of time
And you've been waiting for this
But face value ain't worth a dime
When you fall for all the same tricks

Every gust of wind
Every snapping twig (SUBSTITUTION)
Every crowded place
Every hand you shake

Every spider's web
Every hair on your neck (SEDUCTION)
Every beating wing
And honeybee sting

Every brush of wind
Every snapping twig (STRENGTH)
Every crowded place
Every hand you shake

Every spider's web
Every hair on your neck (SYMPATHY)
In every other shapeshifting beast
You'll just think back to me

I'll reel you, reel you
Hook, sinker, and line
Peel right through you
And grab the heart inside

Oo-hoo, how lucky for you
I've got just the one you need
From the face you remember to the voice that you know
And what you get is everything you see

By the time you've solved the crime
The present's just rewrapped
Face value ain't worth a dime
When you fall for all the same traps

It was only a matter of time
And you've been waiting for this
But face value ain't worth a dime
When you fall for all the same tricks
