The congregated faces that I see today
Remind me of why I tried to escape
It's difficult to learn to conduct myself
And your lack of consistency doesn't help
Why must I try to be someone else
Even you must agree that this is hell
But I see through the ruse now
I see the coward who held me down
Stripped me of my innocence and all it meant
Just to leave me broken and alone in the end
And oh how I've seen the trees die in the autumn
And come back again in the spring
It's difficult to see the relation
But the dreams I had tell me this is where I'm going
The kaleidoscopic catalyst for myself
To go from a useless parasite to a beautiful Mothman
And I see your judgmental eyes look at me
And what I've done to myself
I say move along and realise self-love is important
For your mental health
Crawling around on the ground I realised
Looking up at people isn't all so bad
It's nice to set goals for yourself
And imagine what you could have
I close my eyes and see what I choose
I shut myself off from the world and have nothing to lose
As I open them up and gaze at the grandeur of the sun
I lament at the time I've missed and what I could have done
And now I'm one with reality
I see the world for what it is
It's a breeding ground
Where people like us can reproduce
And that's all it is
And all it ever will be
And all it ever was
And all it ever was
