[Verse 1]
Sometime it seems I stopped being myself
And without a word turned into somebody else
Full of wishes wants dreams and desires for a life
Of conceit and deceit and repeat and rewrite
Not sure who I was before this me and I changed
But I know this me now is not really the same
[Pre-Chorus]
Friends are as strangers and strangers as friends
And I feel like I'm wired in a why
Yeah, my friends are as strangers and strangers as friends
And I feel like I'm lost in a lie
[Chorus 1]
And every day my world gets slower
And colder and smaller and older and lower
And every day my treat gets closer to trick
Yeah, every day my world gets slower
And colder and smaller and older and lower
I'm tired of being alone with myself
I'm tired of being with anyone else
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, I'm tired
Like I'm sick
[Verse 3]
None of my favourite things are quite right
To the mirror man screaming at me in the spite
Of another false start, dirty, worn-out and used
Up and down to the ground, disavowed, so confused
All made up in the belief that me is the same
As the eyes in the glass, but I see my eyes change
[Pre-Chorus]
Friends are as strangers and strangers as friends
And I feel like I'm wired in a why
Yeah, my friends are as strangers and strangers as friends
And I feel like I'm lost in a lie
[Chorus 2]
And every night my world gets quicker
And lighter and shorter and tighter and slicker
And every night, my truth gets closer to dare
Yeah, every night my world gets quicker
And lighter and shorter and tighter and slicker
I'm tired of being alone with myself
I'm tired of being with anyone else
[Outro]
Like I'm sick
Like I'm tired
Like I'm scared
