People

(album: Hopeful Hearts Club - 2023)

Oh the world
Tells you young
That you ain't nothing
If you ain't someone

It uses fear
Like a gun
Makes you listen
And then it makes you run

And I
I feel the toll
On my mind now
It's getting old

But still
I scroll
Just trying to find why
I feel so alone

I don't know why we do the things we do
I don't know why we treat these screens like truth
I don't know why we do the things we do
I guess we're just people
Trying to be other people

Like a thief
In the night
We don't notice
What's gone inside

Just get more
And don't waste your time
That's what they're saying
But the well's run dry

And I don't know why we do the things we do
I don't know why we treat these screens like truth
I don't know why we do the things we do
I guess we're just people
Trying to be other people

I don't know why we do the things we do
I don't know why we treat these screens like truth
I don't know why we do the things we do
I guess we're just people
Trying to be other people

I don't know why we do the things we do
I don't know why we treat these screens like truth
I don't know why we do the things we do
I guess we're just people
Trying to be other people

I don't know why we do the things we do
I don't know why we treat these screens like truth
I don't know why we do the things we do
I guess we're just people
Trying to be other people

And I don't know why we do the things we do
I don't know why we treat these screens like truth
And I don't know why we do the things we do
I guess we're just people
Trying to be other people
