Delusional Confidence

(album: God Save The Teen - 2023)

I lie to myself all the time
And say, "This world's all mine"
I lie to myself all the time
And say, "This world's all mine"
Delusional confidence
Delusional confidence

The mirror tells me I'm a king
But the world tells me I'm a joker
I love my voice every time I sing
But the world tells me I'm a poser
All of my problems, all of my issues
I give them nowhere to hide
They keep me up every night
I got bags under my eyes

I lie to myself all the time
And say, "This world's all mine"
I lie to myself all the time
And say, "This world's all mine"
Delusional confidence
Delusional confidence

And what a shame that it would be
to live a life never going crazy
In my head there's a symphony
It's the only sound that could save me
And all the flaws on my face
They're not accidental
All these scars on my body
That's what makes me special

I lie to myself all the time
And say, "This world's all mine"
I lie to myself all the time
And say, "This world's all mine"
Delusional confidence
Delusional confidence

My delusional confidence
Delusional confidence

Instant gratification and Internet cancellations
15-minute friendships covered in cheap conversations
Filtered selfies sipping out of Starbucks straws
While the ring lights shine bright enough to cover up all our flaws
Strawberry vapes just so we can enjoy the taste
of freedom in all its glory while we slowly suffocate
Disconnected from reality, but the Wi-Fi is exceptional
The corner-store candy man just laced it all in fentanyl
It will take all our strength to admit that we are weak
We must submit to shallowness before we can be deep
The angel wings we lust for really aren't so out of reach
Once we stop hurting all the ones we really need
Today you are alive, and there ain't nothing you can't be
No one can stop you if deep down you truly believe
So whatever you do don't let this world kill your dream
