Oh

Oh-oh

I've decided

That I don't wanna justify it

Move in silence like an island

That nobody wants to reside in

Just keep it quiet

'Cause I don't wanna feel defiled

Bruised ego like I'm a child

In your shoes, won't last a mile

Or a few steps, a perfect test

Just a few steps, I'll fall out the nest

I'm not gonna fight it

Not gonna deny it

Oh

Oh

I-I wanna crash, feel so attacked

On a mad dash in my own brain

I'm so attached, I'm so detached

Yeah, I don't know, it's all the same

Am I insane? Oh

Feel the answer change each day

Oh-oh

Feel the answer change, I don't wanna change

But I need to change

Feel the answer change, I don't wanna change

But I need to change

How do I need to change? Ask myself the same every day

Oh-oh-oh

I (huh)

Tried to fight it

The truth came back to bite me, uh

But I wanna feel it, wanna see it

Even though it eats me whole

I can't escape the pull

I can't escape the pull

I can't tell that lie, not one more time

(Think you know me?)

(But you can't see behind my eyes)

My

False self must die, it's no surprise

I wanna know me, but I can't hear my thoughts

I wanna crash, feel so attacked

On a mad dash in my own brain

I'm so attached, I'm so detached

Yeah, I don't know, it's all the same

Am I insane? Oh

Feel the answer change each day

Oh-oh

Feel the answer change, I don't wanna change

But I need to change

Feel the answer change, I don't wanna change

But I need to change

How do I need to change? Ask myself the same every day

Oh-oh-oh
