**[Intro – muttered, observational]**
Yeah…
I don’t even know how I got here.
Guess I walked.
---
**[Verse 1]**
Just left the Irish bar,
Got tossed for being “too much”
Overserved, oversharing,
Apparently that’s on me
Now I’m pacing this polished outdoor mall
All glass and gold leaf nothing
I look like I fell out of the wrong decade
Standing under fake palm trees
Everyone’s dressed for somewhere else
I’m dressed like I don’t belong
I keep thinking I missed a memo
About how to exist correctly
---
**[Pre-Chorus]**
There’s a stranger at the table
Telling me I’m just visiting
Like that explains the distance
Like I wasn’t already leaving
---
**[Chorus]**
I don’t belong here
I never did
I’m an alien borrowing chairs
Trying to make friends sit
I keep asking why I stayed
Now I’m seeing why you left
Fuck man, maybe I was
The problem I kept dodging
---
**[Verse 2]**
I ditched my friends to disappear
Thought solitude would feel cleaner
Turns out it just echoes louder
When no one’s taking the bait
I put on the easy version of myself
For people I won’t know tomorrow
At least strangers let me reset
At least they don’t remember the old me
I grind my MMO like it’s a job
Solo leveling, no party chat
No voice, no guild, no attachments
Just numbers going up to distract me
---
**[Pre-Chorus]**
It’s easier being nobody
Than disappointing someone again
---
**[Chorus]**
I don’t belong here
I’m out of context
Standing in a place that feels staged
Like I missed the text
I keep pretending I’m free
But I’m just hard to reach
I’m not lonely, I’m avoiding
Everything I couldn’t keep
---
**[Bridge]**
I thought hiding out would help
But hiding just sharpens the edges
I don’t miss them
I miss not thinking about it
I keep changing masks
Like that’s growth
But it’s just practice
At being alone
---
**[Outro]**
So I sit
Scrolling, grinding, killing time
Not waiting for anyone specific
Just waiting for the night to end
I don’t belong here
And I’m finally not arguing with that.
