lyrics

Reputation

We see based on appearance alone. At least it seems that way sometimes.
We wear these shallow masks we find to cover up the scars.
We grow when put to the test, but we are transparent.
Friendly elitists mean no harm, but they take the easy way out.

Don’t fool yourself, the parts are rough, but the circle’s round, and
Anyway, this isn’t our real home.

Yeah, I’ve buried my gifts in the sand. Can’t shake that reputation.
“I don’t feel,” I tell myself to get by.
Yeah, I wonder if it’s the same with you. I know that reputation.
I must try to find the real you inside.

We tried to control what brings joy and left disillusioned.
Painting our faces, but they don’t look the way they started.

Don’t fool yourself, the parts are rough, but the circle’s round.
And anyway, this isn’t our real home.

Yeah, I’ve buried my gifts in the sand. Can’t shake that reputation.
“I don’t feel,” I tell myself to get by.
Yeah, I wonder if it’s the same with you. I know that reputation.
I must try to find the real you inside.

I know it’s not about me. I know I should be past it,
But the tip of my tongue weighs heavy like an anchor.
But I’m still on the wagon. Please don’t give up on me.
It’s just that I hate the attention of change.
I hate the attention of change. I hate the attention.

I squander every chance I get. Don’t want that reputation.
What’s the use? I never wanted to try.
I brought this all upon myself. Don’t need a reputation.
Should have learned to bury the self in this life. Yeah, yeah.
