about

A song about how sometimes we get lost on our road to success and need to take a step back and take it easy.

lyrics

I can’t unsay it
No way to explain it
Got lost in the madness
Of trying to follow the rabbit
In a land of the sheep
The wolf is king
It’s a fickle thing
Trying to follow your dreams
How far does this go?
I’m so out of control
Pushed everyone away
For promises of better days
And now I’m all alone
With nowhere to call home
Was watching the throne
When they cut me to the bone

You said you wanted a leader
So I took up arms
But when I walked in the room
I set off your alarm
It’s like I’m on fire
Been burning so long
Can no longer feel the flames
Can no longer see those scars
It’s like I’m on every drug
Cuz I feel so numb
Won’t see old age
Might never fall in love
You wanted a king
So I became a god
Always wanted to be normal
But just grew more odd

I buried the hatchet
Yeah, in my own back
Made a living out of
Exposing what I lack
Tried to kill the scene
It turned the gun on me
Now I am nothing
Die in obscurity
You’re looking for love
I’m looking for life
But the door is closed
Already knocked twice
You don’t think I notice
But I see it all
You wanna act righteous?
But it's all so wrong

You see me as a puzzle
That needs to be solved
I see you as a struggle
That I’ll never resolve
Got pills for the pain
You'd be high all day
We're all the same
Just trying to find our way
You saw me as the victim
Till I became the predator
A wolf in sheep's clothing
Is the deadliest threat I've heard
Better men went insane
Just trying to play the game
How can I be any different?
Look inward for blame

This paper chase
Just makes me sick
But alongside love and grace
We all need cash to live
I need outta this city
It's suffocating me
It's a glorified prison
Where all the inmates have keys
Was the runt of the litter
A bad apple in the bunch
Looked harmless to the winners
Until I grew up to stun
I know it's hard to believe
But now I wake up as a dream
So afraid all I'll ever be
Is Social Anxiety
