My People

(album: Parade - 2021)

We are the insecure
I try to find a way but I'm not so sure
Lost inside a crowd of everybody
But the ones I'm looking for
Just a shadow of myself
I try to find a way through someone else
Welcome to the coldest hell
There are no answers

Fill me with some dopamine
Yeah pump that shit right into me
I'm an introvert, I got no worth
Why don't you come sing to me
Preach to me that you understand
And you're always here to do what you can
And tell me not to think about it
God damn

We walk alone but still as one throughout the night
We are the ones who prefer to keep out the light
We seek the angels who have fallen from the sky
We fight the demons with whom we test our minds

I see no reason to not be one of us
Our hearts are so pure
Our causes are just
Come take my hand
We'll erase all the evil
Let me play you the song of my people

These are my people
These are my people
These are my people
These are my people

We are the overthinkers
We love what makes us weaker
Masochists in all our minds
Hating what we are inside
Loners of the world today
Knowing everything is fake
God I hate to think about it
Still we say

We walk alone but still as one throughout the night
We are the ones who prefer to keep out the light
We seek the angels who have fallen from the sky
We fight the demons with whom we test our minds

These are my people
These are my people
These are my people
These are my people
