[Verse 1]
I watch those reality shows
I leave my hair in the shower drain
Leave all my things on the floor
Pretending that I'm something more

[Verse 2]
What if we both moved away
Do you think that would put things straight?
My mom would call me insane
And I would keep spending my money on stupid things

[Bridge]
Because I want that privileged job, don't I
I want to pay with pictures of my white face, don't I
I wish I was someone that kids thought was real and strong
But I'm a child with my hands over my ears

[Chorus]
Don't trust my voice when I stumble
Trembling over strings I cut off
So scared of boredom and catching dust
But I will stay young forever, I never learn, I never trust

Not sane, but hopeful to stay tough
I am ready on my knees to give it up
Don't care for being cool or looking dumb
I feel too close but I am still not close enough

[Outro]
Because I want that privileged job, don't I
I want to pay with pictures of my white face, don't I
I wish I was someone that kids thought was real and strong
But I'm a child with my hands over my ears
Don't trust a word I say
