lyrics

When you told me about your addictions,
your foolish longings,
your prized convictions –
these things that weren’t actually quite a surprise
mostly just the ways you over-analyze
Every thought turned to action,
every action to speech
And I offered guidance psychologically
Just a premonition of future correlations,
though I thought I wouldn’t be the best for advice

Because I am a hypocrite.
I believe in paradox.

My ideals are pretty, though hard to achieve
I’m often encumbered by my humanity
Like Tori, I sometimes can be, frankly, quite cruel,
though kindness and acceptance are what I work towards

But I am a hypocrite.
I believe in, adhere to, I am a paradox.

And I do not approve the behaviors I use,
but they’re not used intentionally

But I guess I’m just a hypocrite,
but paradox ain't so bad.
I’m a hippo, a hippie, a hippogriff.
I’m a hypocrite.
