I feel like a stranger
In my own skin, it's got me thinking
What must everyone see?
When they look at me?
Do I look like my father?
I don't see it 'til my friends start teasing
That I sound just like him
And that feels pretty grim
Most people say I'm sweet and kind but I can't lie
I'm feeling the façade slip,
I've got to get a grip,
Before the worst parts of my psyche
Start to define me
I won't let 'em define me
I'm prob'ly a loser
Everyone I know's got somewhere to call home
But where does that leave me?
A novel type of lonely
Am I more like my uncle?
Working his ass off with nothing to pass on
Drinking to numb the pain,
A brief escape for the brain
Most people say I'm sweet and kind but I can't lie
I'm feeling the façade slip,
I've got to get a grip,
Before the worst parts of my psyche
Start to define me
I won't let 'em define me
I won't let the worst parts
Of my psyche start to define me
Most people say I'm sweet and kind but I can't lie
I'm feeling the façade slip,
I've got to get a grip,
Before the worst parts of my psyche
Start to define me
I'm feeling the façade slip,
I've got to get a grip,
Before the worst parts of my psyche
Start to define me
I won't let 'em define me
