Dictate
What you think is pivotal
Mandate
Just for the sake of
Ego
Controlling your decision making
The world we're missing's still
Ours for the taking
Accelerate
Into isolation
Gravitate
To comfort, presentation
Anxiety laden
Restless confusion
No courage, no confidence
Absent delusion
Most of us would be lying
Holding fast to denying
If we said we're all feeling swell and content
All of us would be slipping
Backpedaling, gripping
So tight to our fragile confidence
We're trying
Just to convince the world we're
Something
That we can't be, we are not
Afraid of
Being alone, of being caught by
Ourselves
With only our own thoughts
We're trying
Just to convince the world we're
Something
That we can't be, we are not
Afraid of

Ourselves
With only our own thoughts
Activate
With hope and integrity
Honesty
The only true currency
Devastate
The guilt, not the guilty
And I promise a better night's sleep
Most of us would be lying
Holding fast to denying
If we said we're all feeling swell and content
All of us would be slipping
Backpedaling, gripping
