naked in a crowd

(album: scared to go to sleep - 2022)

I'm the problem
I've always heard I'm the problem
And everyone else can't be blamed for my problems
Well maybe they're right
And I'm out of my mind
I didn't know I was afraid of the dark 'til I closed my eyes

The world is as bit of a killing machine
The world is as bit of a killing machine
There's a fine line between reality
And where I thought I would never be

I'm falling faster
And my teeth are rotting out
Can't talk, doesn't matter
'Cause I know I'm gonna drown
I'm naked in a crowd
There's nothing I can do to stop the people pointing at me
I wake up and they're still laughing

These monsters all look like one another
Playing 4d Chess while cold sweat under the covers
So I cling to my innocence like a teddybear I can't put down
But they chew you up like a steak and then spit you out

I'm falling faster
And my teeth are rotting out
Can't talk, doesn't matter
'Cause I know I'm gonna drown
I'm naked in a crowd
There's nothing I can do to stop the people pointing at me
I wake up and they're still laughing

(I wake up and they're still laughing)
(I wake up and they're still)
(I wake up and they're still, oh)
(Falling faster, I'm falling faster)

The world is as bit of a killing machine
The world is as bit of a killing machine
There's a fine line between reality
And where I thought I would never be

I'm falling faster
And my teeth are rotting out
Can't talk, doesn't matter
'Cause I know I'm gonna drown
I'm naked in a crowd
There's nothing I can do to stop the people pointing at me
I wake up and they're still laughing
