[English]

I'm from the East side of America

Where we choose pride over character

And we can pick sides, but this is us

This is us, this is

I live on the West side of America

Where they spin lies into fairy dust

And we can pick sides, but this is us

This is us, this is

And don't believe the narcissism

When everyone projects

And expects you to listen to 'em

Make no mistake, I live in a prison

That I built myself, it is my religion

And they say that I am the sick boy

Easy to say, when you don't take the risk, boy

Welcome to the narcissism

Yeah, we're united under our indifference

And I'm from the East side of America

Where we desensitize by hysteria

And we can pick sides, but this is us

This is us, this is

I live on the West side of America

Where they spin lies into fairy dust

And we can pick sides, but this is us

This is us, this is

I am the, I am the, I am the sick boy

I am the, I am the, I am the sick boy

(I'm from the East side of America)

They say that I am the sick boy

(I live on the West side of America)

And they call me the sick boy

Don't believe the narcissism

When everyone projects

And expects you to listen to 'em

Make no mistake, I live in a prison

That I built myself, it is my religion

And they say that I am the sick boy

Easy to say, when you don't take the risk, boy

Welcome to the narcissism

Where we're united under our indifference

Feed yourself with my life's work

How many likes is my life worth?

Feed yourself with my life's work

How many likes is my life worth?

Feed yourself with my life's work

How many likes is my life worth?

Feed yourself on my life's work

How many likes is my life worth?

I'm from the East side of America

I am the, I am the, I am the sick boy

I live on the West side of America

I am the, I am the, I am the sick boy

I'm from the East side of America

They say that I am a sick boy

I live on the West side of America

Yeah, they call me the sick boy

I am the, I am the, I am the sick boy

I am the, I am the, I am the sick boy

They say that I am the sick boy

Yeah, they call me the sick boy
