Die die die die
Die die die die die die die die die
Die die die die
Die die die die die die die die die die
[Elliot Lee]
I don’t like taking up space in a crowd
No matter how quiet I whisper I feel loud
People say I should be proud
But I can’t pretend I think I deserve it now
I built up a lie
Peoplе think I trust my
My creative mind
When rеally I just skate by
Happiness worries me
When I could lose everything
I’m not afraid of dying
No no no no no no
But airplanes still freak me out
(Ladies, ladies and the gentlemen)
I’m not afraid of dying
No no no no no no
But airplanes still freak me out
(Ladies, ladies and gentlemen)
Die die die die
Die die die die die die die die die
Die die die die
Die die die die die die die die die die
[Letdown.]
Why I’m wrong?
My anxiety kills me and it’s not my fault
Always been the one to let them down
So where’s my heart?
I wrap a chain around my mind so I don’t fall apart inside
This left brain is keeping me my right brain, it’s making me it’s climbing
Anxiety is in my head tonight
[Elliot Lee & Letdown.]
I’m not afraid of dying
No no
But airplanes still freak me out
(Ladies, ladies and the gentlemen)
I’m not afraid of dying
No no
But airplanes still freak me out
(Ladies, ladies and gentlemen)
Die die die die
Die die die die die die die die die
Die die die die
Die die die die die die die die die die
[Elliot Lee]
You won’t catch me handing out my name
I got about a million pseudonymous faces
Me and who I was are not the same
When I fall apart I start over
I had to learn how to miss her
Instead of letting people know where my brain has been
I gotta shed all my skin
When I throw it all away
Hide my identity
Maybe the world will forget
And even if I lose my blueprint
We’ll make another one
So I’m not scared of
[Elliot Lee & Letdown.]
I’m not afraid of dying
No no no no no no
But airplanes still freak me out
(Ladies, ladies and the gentlemen)
I’m not afraid of dying
No no no no no no
But airplanes still freak me out
(Ladies, ladies and gentlemen)
Die die die die
Die die die die die die die die die
Die die die die
Die die die die die die die die die die
