Everybody's just as low as me
It warms my heart to see
I'm not alone in wishing I was someone else
I've seen people shoving friends aside
Stepping on their heads reaching for peace of mind
As I scrap them all for parts
Slowly fixing all my faults
I wonder who's gonna call me out next
And send me back to one
Everybody's keeping score like me,
And I can't help but see
The tipping scale that lurks in every kind hello
I've been talking down just like the rest
I can still be better if I can't be best.
With a narcissistic paranoia always on the clock, please just
Don't wag a finger at me,
I'm just like everyone
In our heads buried deep,
People we've all yet to meet,
While we're walking on our sleep.
Don't you know they're digging upwards?
Hands sticking out of the dirt.
So come one, nice guy, take a swing
I need to meet you, know your sting
For once, you'll be out in the open,
Unlike anyone
Somebody told you you were grand
But you lost your purpose once again.
Where is your conscience now?
Everybody's just as low as me
It warms the heart to see I'm not alone
In wishing I was someone else
We've known ourselves for far too long,
Now we carry around the times that we've been wrong.
And in every young and nervous mind,
There's this recurring bottom line:
It's oh, such a burden to live,
And to be anyone.
