lyrics

When you're standing in a crowded room
And no one wants to talk to you
It's not them, it's you

Fill your days to pass the time
And you say you’re doing fine
Those rose-colored glasses you hide behind
Are lies
Cause we all have a darkness inside
Thinking otherwise makes you blind

You take yourself so seriously
But you're deceived by your own self-esteem
You've always had a proclivity
For a toxic positivity
Such toxic positivity

We all want happiness to fill our days
Stop fooling yourself and pretending everything's okay
A wounded bird in a broken cage
Who’s instinct is to fly away
You can change, you can change, you can change, you can change
Oh, at least that's what they say

Our social fabric is all in tatters
Everything's terrible and nothing matters
You're optimistic about what's in store
It's regressive and we're getting bored
