I Can Just Tell

Be yourself
It’s not so easy to be
When you’re not even sure honestly
Be yourself
Won’t you please just tell me
What you want so I can be
“What are you supposed to be?”
Maybe I don’t know
But please don’t try to tell me that it’s just for show
When you presume to know me better than I know myself
It’s just a blatant fear of things that you don’t understand
Try not to hear those voices anymore
So beside myself I scream and shout
But still you don't hear
(You think you’ve finally stopped giving a shit what anybody else thinks
And you’re free,
Free from societal norms, free from outdated expectations, free to be your true self
To express yourself without fear
But how can we ever be truly free under capitalism?
When even our identity and “individuality” are just marketable commodities?
We can’t)

Anther year the same old story
Lose my shit try to explain it with astrology
But I ain’t seen a cancer meme that wasn’t spot on yet
What’s emotional intelligence?
I don’t feel very smart at all
I aint feelin too clever
In fact I’m a fuckin wreck
But at least I know I’m not alone
We're all stuck between a rock and a hard place,
I've seen that same look on so many faces
We're still the same kids, years older but none the wiser
I tried to stop lying but it was too hard
Never had my story straight from the start
If guilt’s a point view, I’m seeing stars
An endless void that swallows us and everything that aint this feeling

There goes another 90 minutes of my life
Can’t get it back
These ghosts just get worse
They’ll never learn
The shapes are falling so fast from your mouth
I squint so hard to see but still can’t make it out
No words, just sounds
There’s got to be some deeper meaning
It’s lost on me somehow
Regret it
You said it
Although it seems you barely meant it
You want something
Something else
Something I don’t understand
The lines are blurring
You want something
Something else
It's so sad
That all we’ll ever have
Are faded remnants of ideas we barely grasped
Tried to hold smoke
It drifted from our hands
Still searching for deeper meaning
So jaded from it all
Have you ever believed in something so incorporeal?
There goes another 90 minutes of my life
Can’t get it back
These ghosts can’t get worse
We’ll never learn

Does it make you feel like a big man?
A sense of power that you’ll never really have
You’ll just hide behind your fuckin screen
Stewing in your toxic masculinity
You're a cunt
Did mummy not love you enough?
It’s hard to bare
So self-unaware
Entitlement and bitterness
What a fuckin pair

Every time I close my eyes
I’m running for my life
I’m terrified
That’s right
I’m losing my mind
Spent too long staring at the ceiling
Been several years, can’t get it back
Always had a hard time facing facts
I’ll start off slow, don’t judge me if I never even go at all
This time is no different from the hundred times before
Just learned to lie a little better
Just learned to lie a whole lot better
In fear of waking up this time
I’m running circles inside
I’ve lost my fuckin mind
I’m spinning out of control
I’m going out of my mind
Don’t ever wanna think about it
Let alone all the time
It’s all the time

I got so fuckin good at holding my tongue
It’s like I never learned to speak at all
Pathetic failure of a prodigal son
The only thing prodigious was my faults
Please help me pretend I’m healthy
It’s easy
Just come smoke with me
Try to forget years of neglect
Repeating over and over
“We’re only human”
Fragile at best
Going outside less
At least it’s on my own terms
Whatever that means
If it’s devoid of meaning
Why can’t I shake this feeling?
(Maybe I'll finally leave the house this week)
