Wasp In A Coke Can

(album: That Was Now - 2023)

Should I try and be someone else today?
No one likes the sad face clown
Dig out a smile and put it on display
I don't wanna bring you down

Feeling like a kid in a dad suit
Arrested development
You been taking aim but you won't shoot
Am I just your white elephant?
Putting on a front what a way to start
Yeah
But I never want you to know
I'm sort of falling apart because

I'm the type of human
Who wants you to like me
Yeah, I'm the type of human
Who wants you to think that I'm okay

I would love to be one of those people
Who couldn't give two shits about what everybody else is thinking
But that could only be a pipe dream for me
Cause I only feel a bit like that when I'm drinking

Stuck like a wasp in a coke can
Agony and ecstasy
But I can still find my hope, man
If you're standing next to me
Putting on a front but I'm losing heart
Yeah
Still I never want you to know
I'm sort of falling apart because

I'm the type of human
Who wants you to like me
Yeah, I'm the type of human
Who wants you to think that I'm okay

I get up to get down
I get in, I get out
I get high, I get low
Run my mouth, make a scene
Waking up to a dream
Nothing is as it seems
Is it you, is it me?
I don't know, I can't see
Telling lies like the truth
In my eyes is the proof
I keep losing my youth
I'm a flea, I'm a fool
I'm the man, I'm the boss
I get lost, I get lost
I get lost, I get lost
I get lost, I get lost

Cause I'm the type of human
Who wants you to like me
Yeah, I'm the type of human
Who wants you to think that I'm okay

I miss that man I tell you
Tear it off
I get lost in my memories
Still the talk
Is constantly haranguing me
I run my mouth make a scene
They're watching
Is it you, is it me?
I don't know who to be
