Superficial
Figured out it's more than just a lifeline
Take these words
Gotta get them out of my mind
No more perfect flows or clever punchlines
My only goal
Is making sure you hear me right
My biggest fear
Is knowing what I know
And not telling a soul
I'm only here
To give you hope
And to let you know before I go
Everyone wants to be "special"
Wants to be "perfect"
Wants you to know that they're "worth it"
Everyone wishes they "had it"
Pilgrims and savages
Knife in your back, then they'll tax it
Everyone wants you to "wake up"
Put on your makeup
Act like you know what you're doing
Everyone's so superficial
Smiles artificial
Making it seem like they're okay
But they're not
No one is
Despite what's on their Insta pics
It's all just smoke and mirrors
Can't make this clearer
You don't need comparison
My biggest fear
Is knowing what I know
And not telling a soul
I'm only here
To give you hope
And to let you know before I go
Everyone wants to be "special"
Wants to be "perfect"
Wants you to know that they're "worth it"
Everyone wishes they "had it"
Pilgrims and savages
Knife in your back, then they'll tax it
Everyone wants you to "wake up"
Put on your makeup
Act like you know what you're doing
Everyone's so superficial
Smiles artificial
Making it seem like they're okay
Take these words
Gotta get them out of my mind
No more perfect flows or clever punchlines
My only goal
Is making sure you hear me right
My biggest fear
Is knowing what I know
And not telling a soul
I'm only here
To give you hope
And to let you know before I go
Everyone wants to be "special"
Wants to be "perfect"
Wants you to know that they're "worth it"
Everyone wishes they "had it"
Pilgrims and savages
Knife in your back, then they'll tax it
Everyone wants you to "wake up"
Put on your makeup
Act like you know what you're doing
Everyone's so superficial
Smiles artificial
Making it seem like they're okay
But they're not
No one is
Despite what's on their Insta pics
It's all just smoke and mirrors
Can't make this clearer
You don't need comparison
My biggest fear
Is knowing what I know
And not telling a soul
I'm only here
To give you hope
And to let you know before I go
Everyone wants to be "special"
Wants to be "perfect"
Wants you to know that they're "worth it"
Everyone wishes they "had it"
Pilgrims and savages
Knife in your back, then they'll tax it
Everyone wants you to "wake up"
Put on your makeup
Act like you know what you're doing
Everyone's so superficial
Smiles artificial
Making it seem like they're okay
