“False Self” is an ode to the inner conflict and thoughts Willow has within herself through meditation. “I think after Coping Mechanism, I got to a place where I was like, you know what, I have some issues that need to be addressed…A lot of the songs were written from the inspiration of these dives...
[Intro]
Okay
Ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 1]
I've decided that I don't wanna justify it
Move in silence like an island that nobody wants to reside in
Just keep it quiet 'cause I don't wanna feel defiled
Bruised ego like I'm a child
In your shoes, won't last a mile
Or a few steps, a perfect test
Just a few steps, I'll fall out the nest
I'm not gonna fight it, not gonna deny it
[Chorus]
I-I wanna crash, feel so attacked
On a mad dash in my own brain
I'm so attached, I'm so detached
Yeah, I don't know, it's all the same
Am I insane? Feel the answer change each day
Feel the answer change, I don't wanna change, but I need to change
Feel the answer change, I don't wanna change, but I need to change
How do I need to change? Ask myself the same every day
[Verse 2]
I tried to fight it
The truth came back to bite me
But I wanna feel it, wanna see it
Even though it eats me whole
I can't escape the pull
Can't escape the pull
I can't tell that lie, not one more time
Think you know me, but you can't see behind my eyes
My false self must die, it's no surprise
I wanna know me, but I can't hear my thoughts
[Chorus]
I wanna crash, feel so attacked
On a mad dash in my own brain
I'm so attached, I'm so detached
Yeah, I don't know, it's all the same
Am I insane? Feel the answer change each day
Feel the answer change, I don't wanna change, but I need to change
Feel the answer change, I don't wanna change, but I need to change
How do I need to change? Ask myself the same every day
