lyrics

I hide inside the me you know
He wants to have fun but I’m a misanthrope

Say good bye to the lie that I use or maybe it uses me to survive

If I say too much, share my thoughts untouched
and blow the cover I’ve built
that keeps you here but fills me with guilt

I’m a fraud, I’m acting out because I’m lost on a sinking ship
We all want to live true to ourselves
but my family is hungry with failing wealth

I don’t walk the walk, I definitely don’t talk the fucking talk
I try to be normal but no one smells smoke and the building’s on fire

I can’t walk the straight narrow line
My sobriety’s on the decline
As I unravel I bring you along
We fall, withdraw

I hide inside the me you know
I wanna come out but I’m afraid you’d go

Say good bye to the lie that I use or maybe it uses me to survive

If I let it go, let the walls fall down
Will you not like what you see
You didn’t sign up for all that I bring

I’m a fraud, everything I want is on pause, while I slowly drown
There’s never gonna be anything for me
stuck behind a desk I belong in the street

I regret the misery you absorb every time I bleed
I try to keep it bottled inside of me
The poison was never supposed to leak

I don’t walk the walk, I definitely don’t talk the fucking talk
I try to be normal but no one smells smoke and the building’s on fire

Beaten by failure and the death of your dreams
Playing dress up like it’s halloween
Make enough money to continue to eat
Take on more debt so you have somewhere to sleep

Hell is in a book but dystopia is real
Created to control by deciding who can steal
We’ve been conquered by division based on a big lie
A fabrication we’ve been told came down from the divine

Be normal
