Перевод песни Jonathan Young - Bait

[Verse 1]
I’ve been scared to stop and survey
All the choices that I made
Like I’ve barely beat addiction
But I keep the price I paid

And if I’m older, if I’m jaded
And now that I’ve made it for so long
Playing someone else’s game and singing
Someone else’s song

And if my pencil and my anger
Can agree to summarize
If I’m real, I know I’ll never
Be surprised

[Chorus]
It seems like everybody, everybody
Makes the same mistakes
It seems like everybody, everybody’s
Just so fuckin’ fake
And I’m a hypocrite, I know
With that button down below
Just be careful when you choose to take the bait

[Verse 2]
So with our little lies, we optimize
The pictures on the screen
And we don’t talk about the high we get
From knowing who might see

And like a king who loves his throne I know
The guilty will excuse
How we project our insecurities
And we know it gets more views

Tell the children in my church
That mediocrity’s unique
And I can sell the validation that
They seek

[Chorus]
It seems like everybody, everybody
Makes the same mistakes
It seems like everybody, everybody’s
Just so fuckin’ fake
And I’m a hypocrite, I know
With that button down below
Just be careful when you choose to take the bait

[Bridge]
I didn’t enjoy this
Breaking my excuses down
I know why I avoid it
Comfortable to sell a sound
And if I hold to honesty
I fell for my own con, but see
That shit that I was then is over now

[Chorus]
It seems like everybody, everybody
Makes the same mistakes
It seems like everybody, everybody’s
Just so fuckin’ fake
And I’m a hypocrite, I know
With that button down below
Just be careful when you choose
You never know what you might lose
Just be careful when you choose to take the bait
