lyrics

I can't compete anymore
I've been building all these walls to keep you out
but every time I'm almost there
you start tearing up the first layer of

Bricks and stones may break my bones
but all your words ignite me
I'll take this fire that you lit
and watch my doubts burn within it

You made a bed where you can't stand to lay
If I follow in your footsteps I'll end up the same

How could you just let me believe?
"Run along and follow your dreams"
I've been thinking about all the voices screaming within me
There's nothing you can say to reach me I've been lied to by the hand that feeds me

But it's getting hard to breathe
coexisting with those who don't believe
they're telling me
to throw away my broken dreams but no

I won't be mean
I'll just fill your screen with indirect tweets so
favourite them and think about it
you got it all wrong

Tell me it's not me
Tell me I'm not the one I'll never be
Tell me it's been nice
But you got "better ways to spend your time"

It turns out all the stories were true
this whole time the monster in my closet was you
