lyrics

i’ve realized that all the things i hate in other people are things that i do
and i don’t know what that says about me or you
there is comfort in silence in acts of violence
and a strange presentation of the way we want that
if i die will people listen to this
if you die will i have the privilege of being exploited

don’t tell anyone i wrote my name
on the wall in invisible ink
of my old house just days before we left
how dare you be out with your friends
how dare you not be sleeping in bed
how dare you present a perfect framing of yourself

i’m not even as good as my own word
i’m only as good as somebody else’s
and how i let it determine my whole future
“be above it” i can’t be above it
i can’t go up there and be me
i can’t be above it
because i can’t stop looking down at my feet

i’m so tired of maybe’s but it’s better than being lonely
and people being out in the sunshine without me
because i’m not the captain i’m just along for the ride
because i’m not the captain i’m just along for the ride

i might not be completely happy with myself
but i’m still happy with everyone else around me
mostly
and you better not take that away from me at all
