Not About You

Maybe it's not about you Not about you, not about you Maybe it's the path you choose How you taste the truth How you walk in your boots Maybe it's all fake news What they say about you Man it leaves you confused And you just take the abuse Because of who you are Who you are Trying to think of something that'll give your life meaning Show no sympathy behind closed doors Trying to count the dots on your eyes You believe in more But you're not sure Experiencing life without any feeling Rank and Number, man Numb to the core Romantic death well it seems so appealing A simple impulse of the bored Time to exaggerate your dreams and your achievements And row your boat to a distant shore Trying to conflate your presence and your essence And there's so much less in store The merest of setbacks it leaves you in pieces Glass half smashed on the factory floor Your nearest and dearest they tire of your unloading You're broken, eroded to the core No-one wants to fix you anymore
