I’m here, but I’m not

(I’m here, but I’m not)

(I’m here here here)

(but I’m not)

Verse

Clock hits five, I’m on my way

They’re laughing loud, I want to stay

But every joke feels off somehow

I wear a mask, I wonder how

Pre-C

Smile too wide, I fake the fun

Hide the me that weighs a ton

Trading truth for their approval

I’m dissolving in this ritual

Chorus

I’m here, but I’m not really me

Drowning in what they want to see

Running fast just to keep in line

Losing pieces I can’t define

Wrong crowd, wrong crowd

But I’m still around

Verse

Their world’s a game I can’t win

Change my face, let the act begin

Every word I bend and twist

For a seat that doesn’t even exist

Pre-Chorus

Smile too wide, I fake the fun

Hide the me that weighs a ton

Trading truth for their approval

I’m dissolving in this ritual

Chorus

I’m here, but I’m not really me

Drowning in what they want to see

Running fast just to keep in line

Losing pieces I can’t define

Wrong crowd, wrong crowd

But I’m still around

Bridge

Maybe one day I’ll break free

Drop the mask, just let me be

Till then I dance in the fire

A shadow of my own desire

Chorus / Outro

I’m here, but I’m not really me

Drowning in what they want to see

Running fast just to keep in line

Losing pieces I can’t define

Wrong crowd, wrong crowd

But I’m still around

I’m here, but I’m not really me

Drowning in what they want to see

Running fast just to keep in line

Losing pieces I can’t define

Wrong crowd, wrong crowd

I can’t be found
