[Intro: Dizzy]
Do you feel it yet, bitch?
[Verse 1: Rook + (Dizzy)]
I could be anything I want
(Anything I want, anything I want)
I could be somewhere far away
(Far away)
I could make peace with what I'm not
(What, what, what, what)
I could be real again someday
(Hahahaha)
Real again someday
I don't really know myself, I don't really believe myself
I don't really know why I see rotten things inside myself
I don't really understand a single thing that's said to me
"I don't really care who you are or what you think of me!"
But that's so fucking untrue when no one's listening
[Chorus: Rook + Dizzy]
Put me under
I want to get away
I wonder if I could make it
She's a runner
I hear she fucks with something other
You don't know the half of it
[Verse 2: Dizzy]
I'm just a pain that hurts too much
Inverted shadow time delay
Mirror image of something that I never really even was
Heterosanity able-bodied LCD display
But I'm
Lost in the world
So different, so unsuited for it
(Fuck)
So sick, so fucked up in it
(Fuck)
So doomed
So dead
So... fuck
[Pre-Chorus: Rook]
I'll get away and I'll be all that I dreamed of
I'll become everything that you were so scared I would be
I'll push the limits of what you thought I was capable of
You'll never see me again
I know what you did to me
[Chorus: Rook + Dizzy]
Put me under
I want to get away
I wonder if I could make it
She's a runner
I hear she fucks with something other
You don't know the half of it
[Verse 3: Rook]
This anger burns out too quick to hold
I wanna be engulfed but I'm out in the cold
Am I a character in some sick fantasy that's getting old?
What happens from now on if it turns out I never told you?
I want to start again, I want this hurt to die
I want it to destroy me so I'll have a reason not to lie
I want to hear your voice and tell you it's the last time ever
I want to cut away, I want to separate and sever
[Outro: Rook + (Dizzy)]
I could be anything I want
I could be somewhere far away
I could make peace with what I'm not
I could be real again someday (Hahahahaha)
Real again someday
I'm going to start again
I'm going to start again
