I'm just projecting
I've pulling all the strings to unravel this
Now I can't let go
I lose myself in the lights and the glory
And I can't find my way back home
This seeking of external acceptance
Has calcified in stone
This doesn't come from a place of self love
Cuz it's dependent on a throne
Inside my sheltered psyche
I feel what's right
But I'm falling faster
Away from light
Why can't I love myself
Wish I was someone else
I've got no love
But I'll get it back
I'll get it back
Give it back
Why does it burn?
Give it back
Why does it burn?
Burn inside
All my life
I've searching for the light
Just to make it through this life
Every time that I try
I fucking burn myself alive
Every time that I hide
I keep on wasting all my time
I feel like I'm loosing my mind
Searching for something
Outside of my reach but I try
Keep me alive
Give me a sign
Show me the way without living a lie
Show me the way
Give me a sign
Show me my worth
Or just give me some time
Give me some time
Give me some time
Outside I paint my body
So dark it hurts
Projecting trauma
My scars unearthed
Why don't I love myself
I can be someone else
I can be someone else
I can be someone else
The sun can shine amongst the dark
The dance between the two will bring a new day
(Bring a new day)
I have hope I can unmask the
Deepest parts of me
That I try not to see
A false unworthiness lingers still within
I'm just projecting
