[Verse 1]
I don't know anyone here
I hardly know myself and it feels fuckin' weird
Wonder when the pressure will all disappear
This should be exciting (This should be excit—)
I went to lunch and I cried
I was so embarrassed I covered my eyes
I'm all about emotions but not if they're mine
What is it I'm hiding? (What is it I'm hid—?)
[Pre-Chorus]
Who are they? Who am I? Whatever
We are they, they are I, whatever
[Chorus]
I never have control
Fuck, I'm getting old
Put me in a simulation
Where time doesn't exist
My family is rich
Bet I look better pixelated
I'd be happy, I know
But if not, there's a cheat code
A game where I don't have to win
I think I'd rather be a sim
(So-so, ooh, shinny day!)
[Verse 2]
Right-click and I change my face
'Cause I kinda think my nose is too big for my waist
Nothing in this world that I can't rearrange
I really want a mansion, I'll buy an expansion pack
My girlfriend is being dramatic
I'll throw her in the pool and I'll take out the ladder
Do it all the time 'cause it don't really matter
And if I do regret it, click undo and get her back
[Pre-Chorus]
Who are they? Who am I? Whatever
Least I won't be alive forever
[Chorus]
I never have control
Fuck, I'm getting old
Put me in a simulation
Where time doesn't exist
My family is rich
Bet I look better pixelated
I'd be happy, I know
But if not there's a cheat code
A game where I don't have to win
I think I'd rather be a sim
[Bridge]
Na, na-na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na-na, I'd rather be a sim
Na, na-na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na-na, I'd rather be a sim
Na, na-na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na-na, I'd rather be a sim
Na, na-na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na-na, I'd rather be a sim
[Outro]
A game where I don't have to win
I think I'd rather be a sim

I use a lot of coping mechanisms as distractions. In college, I had so much homework, but I would play Sims for five hours to avoid all of it. At the time, I was using all of the anxiety to distract myself from feeling good, happy, and excited. The concept of the song is how you wish you could contr...
