Not About You

Maybe it's not about you
Not about you, not about you
Maybe it's the path you choose
How you taste the truth
How you walk in your boots

Maybe it's all fake news
What they say about you
Man it leaves you confused
And you just take the abuse
Because of who you are

Who you are

Trying to think of something that'll give your life meaning
Show no sympathy behind closed doors
Trying to count the dots on your eyes
You believe in more
But you're not sure

Experiencing life without any feeling
Rank and Number, man
Numb to the core
Romantic death well it seems so appealing
A simple impulse of the bored

Time to exaggerate your dreams and your achievements
And row your boat to a distant shore
Trying to conflate your presence and your essence
And there's so much less in store

The merest of setbacks it leaves you in pieces
Glass half smashed on the factory floor
Your nearest and dearest they tire of your unloading
You're broken, eroded to the core
No-one wants to fix you anymore
