lyrics

if I had one scrap of confidence,
my world would be a different place
but you can tell I don’t believe in myself
it’s written all over my face

this world is cruel and competitive
and only the strong survive
so I’ll wind up dead still stuck in my head
waiting for my ship to arrive

(’cause) lately -- I feel like there’s a hole inside me
like I’m deficient and everybody knows
recently -- I see my life has been a story
it’s headed nowhere and everybody knows

protect my innocence like a virgin
in a psych ward for the very first time
dissect these stacks of hurt and words like surgeon
I’ll ease your pain if I can translate mine

don’t ever wish you were someone else?

[chorus]

is there a reason for suffering?
is there a reason we’re here at all?
sometimes I feel nothing
and sometimes I feel it all

[chorus]

it’s headed nowhere and everybody knows
it’s headed nowhere and everybody knows
it’s headed nowhere and everybody knows

I often wish I was someone else

Showtunes, emo revival, and bright, accessible, forthright lyrics form the backdrop for a unique, relatable collection. New album out February 4th!!!!! ... more
