lyrics

I wasn’t different, I was just disguised in plastic wrap
And I wasn’t listening, I was just devising a way out back
Tangled in see-through strands
Binding my hands

But I wasn’t ugly in the way that I was so convinced
I was just struggling, wrapping up a wound in trapeze strings
I made backflips sing
But I was reeling

I think I’ve been alienating back the people that know me
When you see me walking around you won’t get my mask
But the fear underneath

I wasn’t early, I was not a bird calling out the day
I was a stoner, blocking out the noon ’til it melts away
Like a rocket pop in my sleep
Slowly dripping

I think I’ve been alienating back the people that know me
When you see me walking around you won’t get my mask
But the fear underneath

I think I’ve been alienating the people that love me
When you see me back at the house I just wanna be - honestly
