[Verse 1]
I just wanna have a talk about how selfish I am
About how little of a man I’ve become
And you say there’s no rules, tell that to my mum and dad
'Cause their answers won’t be just for fun

[Pre-Chorus]
Why can't I care about the big things in life
The words just drift all over my mind
A bubble I can't burst, could this ever get any worse
Yeah, I tell them I’m fine

[Chorus]
I put my headphones in, drown out all the bad shit
The fear of rejection's getting ever so big
When the culture runs deep, claustrophobia kicks in
And I’m left tryna break this fucking ceiling

[Post-Chorus]
I wanna tell them I care, but this pain I can’t bear
Already tearing up as I write this song
I guess I’ll just man up for once
I’ve had more than enough for too long

[Verse 2]
Now I see myself decaying, why am I relishing in it though?
I guess routines have their way around me
I feel these emotions fading, cut ties with everyone I know
Can’t keep a convo cause no one feels real
Yeah, yeah, eyes on my back I keep watching
They all wanna see me lose but I keep winning
Do this shit solo don’t need nobody’s help
If you ain’t fuck with me I can only wish you well
Say I ain’t normal when they wish they were weirdos
Why I need to follow rules? I ain’t got nothing to fear for
Maybe this ego's why I’m here tho

[Pre-Chorus]
Why can't I care about the big things in life
The words just drift all over my mind
A bubble I can't burst, could this ever get any worse
Yeah, I tell them I’m fine

[Chorus]
I put my headphones in, drown out all the bad shit
The fear of rejection's getting ever so big
When the culture runs deep, claustrophobia kicks in
And I’m left tryna break this fucking ceiling

[Post-Chorus]
I wanna tell them I care, but this pain I can’t bear
Already tearing up as I write this song
I guess I’ll just man up for once
I’ve had more than enough for too long
