Identity Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Always felt like an outsider watched the world pass as an observer
Fake it till you make it we all exist as actors
Perhaps I am a sucker don’t work well under pressure
But I can’t stand around here just waiting to be discovered

Musta been something I missed, somebody understood something I didn't
Teachers didn’t care, no heart in the curriculum
Couldn’t form a complete thought so I was left feeling stupid
Scatterbrained, waiting for something to capture my attention

Beyond the borders placed around trailer park kids
Paralleling strategies before we knew what plans meant
Each one teach one we’ll take real life experience
And make our rules and form our own systems

So let the world pass their judgement and make their predictions
Learned to protect ourselves against fear and rejection
Ignorance is bliss, better off the optimist
Attitude is ours, the rest is just circumstance

[Chorus]
I-DE-N-T
I-DE-N-T-I-T-Y
I-DE-N-T
I-DE-N-T-I-T-Y

We were young once when lightning struck, time’s up, goodbye luck
Don’t make no sudden moves just let they do what it came to do
There’s no control, heart wants what it wants, you got the soul take off the gloves
Nowhere to go, nowhere to run, with grace embrace the outcome

In a crowded room trying not to shove, opposite ends of the spectrum
It is what it is, just because, a waste of time doing anything but
Dance a dance and sing a song youth is in style that won’t last long
Rest assured you did all you could, never had to say “I wish I would’ve ”

[Chorus]
I-DE-N-T
I-DE-N-T-I-T-Y
I-DE-N-T
I-DE-N-T-I-T-Y

[Verse 3]
I had a dream that I could freeze time
Be the same age forever and live multiple lives
So, here we go, end of the world, no need to fear it
One day our bodies will break down and we’ll have to wear it

Used to be naked in the garden before we understood shame
Used to not keep score, children just played
Wasn’t till we got older we were afraid to amount to nothing
Is it excitement or anxiety that keeps your heart pumping?

And when our youth left it was the death of an identity
I-DE-N-T
I-DE-N-T-I-T-Y
And is the new person we become out of choice or necessity?
I-DE-N-T
I-DE-N-T-I-T-Y

So I keep my eyes up towards the sun cause it’s as far as I can reach
Cause cynicism ’s lazy, the lowest fruit hanging from the tree
I-DE-N-T
I-DE-N-T-I-T-Y
I-DE-N-T
I-DE-N-T-I-T-Y
