Roleplayer

Vicarious living through fictional characters
"I love you" said my alien boyfriend
I think by now I'm more persona than person
And I know now that things don't change unless they worsen

I feel validated when they call me Dave Strider
Cause I'm not much of a kappa kinnie these days
Once upon a time I refused to be a faker
But I think by now I'm a seasoned roleplayer

My little life is sacred
But it's been wasted
Trying to write a better one
My little life is special
But its potential
Is wasted trying to be anyone

In the middle of the act, enter stage-side
A clumsy self-insert who's looking for something
Outside the world to which he find he's indentured
I'd take adventure every day any day over everyday adventure

Maybe I should wait, maybe it's not too late
To find myself inexplicably in Narnia
But even outside the closet doors that strangle me
I live a life trapped by its own reality

My little life is sacred
But it's been wasted
Trying to write a better one
My little life is special
But its potential
Is wasted trying to share it with anyone

Across the multiverse
On the other side of a black hole
There's a home
Away from home

In the 20th dimension
In a parallel friendship circle
I'm home
Away from home
