lyrics

Let’s start a fire and burn away
The person I was yesterday.
I’ve got my motives in check right now.
I left personalities at the door.

Now it’s okay to be myself.
I’m the weird one on the shelf.
Much like the words I’ve always felt.

All you’ve been doing is saving your face.
Try saving your ass by the end of the day.
Another relapse is another mistake.
They’ll put on the jacket and take you away.

Now it’s okay to be myself.
I’m the weird one on the shelf.
Much like the words I’ve always felt.

There is an ocean of light in my mind,
Buried behind all the secrets intertwined.
Tattoo instructions on my skin.
Cut out the cancer from within.

Now it’s okay to be myself.
I’m the weird one on the shelf.
Much like the words I’ve always felt.
