lyrics

_______________________________

Your face is cracking
Your lies are made of plastic so
The sun is melting
Your mind to stop, so you start to follow
These dreams are someone else's it seems
Maybe there's just nothing to see
But I'm telling you and now you know
The beginning always starts off slow

Because you'd rather be someone else
Anyone but yourself, to be somebody else
Take the time to show me why
And I'll show you what's it like to be yourself
Instead of being somebody else

Take the broken pieces
And chew them up again
The questions always why
But why do I have question every single lie

When did the sun become so empty
And when did your smile get so sad
When did the air become so heavy
And when did the static get so loud

Because you'd rather be someone else
Anyone but yourself, to be somebody else
Take the time to show me why
And I'll show you what it's like
How did we ever get so blind
Despite all this noise I think that I'll be fine

But I'll never be alright
Take the time to show me why, why, why, why
It won't ever be alright

Because I'd rather be myself
Yeah I'd rather be myself
Take the time, say what you like
Because I still think that you're blind
Yeah I'd rather be myself
Because I hate everyone else
Yeah I hate everyone else
Everyone else is not who I am in my own head

(When did the sun become so empty)
(And when did your smile get so sad)
In my own head
(When did the air become so heavy)
(And when did the static get so loud)

Take the time to show me why, why, why, why
(When did the sun become so empty)
(And when did your smile get so sad)
It won't ever be alright
(When did the air become so heavy)
(And when did the static get so loud)

When did the sun become so empty
And when did your smile get so sad
When did the air become so heavy
And when did the static get so loud
