designer cadet comes out when he's dressed
he kissed your feet and he held his own
but he doesn't know where to go from here
he says put your clothes back on
this is how it's supposed to work
but how is that ever supposed to work
so he lies on his sheets
as he puts on disdress
can he see, can he hear, can he hear what you look like
the design on his wall
's witnessed him fall
and he asks have you ever seen this shit before
cadet take a second
take a second to listen
is there anybody out there?
you're a little too far out there now
somewhere in his heart
cadet goes thru your armoire
it's creepy he's a fuck
but don['t hate him that's just his luck
somewhere in the dark
you can see his eyes dart
you can tell there's something up
he doesn't seem quite right to you
designer cadet comes out when he's stressed
oh remember this moment, oh please will you
say it don't matter much how you like to be touched
we will never think less of what is in your head
designer cadet is forever in debt
to whoever has chosen to be with him
and why not you if there ever was one
who was willing to love me for who i am
and don't be shy to share what you're hiding
it may only scare yourself
i mean come on it's 2016, whatever that means
it shouldn't matter much at all
