THE SOPHISTICATED ENIGMA


I'm a sophisticated enigma

Where do I begin?

I'm a peaceful fellow

Reluctant to sin

 

I'm a sophisticated enigma

Infatuated by lust

Still I'm a respectful gentleman

Everyone can trust

 

I'm a sophisticated enigma

My ideas are seemingly immutable

But I'm not always right

Hey, everything is disputable

 

I'm a sophisticated enigma

My late nights are full of introspection

"Will I ever find love?"

"Will I ever complete my comic collection?"

 

I'm a sophisticated enigma

I feel alone in a moral-less world

Not saying I'm perfect

But my standards are gold

 

I'm a sophisticated enigma

I'm quite a jocular fellow

Jokes are my forte

My humor is quite dark though

 

I'm a sophisticated enigma

I'm quite insecure

Most people are scared of monsters

Speaking is my fear

 

I'm a sophisticated enigma

I'm destined for great things

I'll happily accept

Whatever fate brings

 

I'm a sophisticated enigma

Sorry I'm so strange

I love being me however

And there no way I'm going to change
