lyrics

I'm wasting my days away comparing myself to a screen
Losing sleep over virtual reality
No one knows the real me and if I'm honest the real me is the only thing that scares me

Change is such a terrifying thing
If I could just post the truth and find some sort of peace
My mind might feel better
But my realities always painting a different picture
There's a war inside my head

I'm so afraid of what you might not know
I'm such a fake and I'm afraid it shows
I'm so obsessed with how this story goes
I'm in bed with deception and so stuck on proving I'm some kind of cool kid worth knowing

My insecurities here infect the rest of my life
I dug a grave so deep for the actual me
I haven't seen him in years not even sure if he's still there

Everything I touch feels like a waste of time
Is it just me or are we living out the same lives
"Look at me" "look at me" "I'm perfect" we all have wars inside our own minds

Fear vs progression, emotional industrialization
We give birth to a mentally paralyzed generation

I'm so afraid of what you might not know
I'm such a fake and I'm afraid it shows
I'm so obsessed with how the story goes

I'm in bed with deception and so stuck on proving I'm some kind of cool kid worth knowing
I'm sick, I'm sick

I'm sick of being lost, I don't know where to go from here
Let me out of this cycle
I want a chance to be free of this pressure

I'm so afraid of what you might not know
I'm such a fake and I'm afraid it shows
I'm so obsessed with how the story goes
I'm in bed with deception and so stuck on proving I'm some kind of cool kid worth knowing
