lyrics

I’m just a nobody I’m coming clean No one could tell me I’m fine
but i’ve rated lower than you’ve ever seen Please don’t me waste your time
Daring to dream but afraid to be real your working to not let it die
to hell with everyone the hell with unity the hell with trying to try

Yeah they numb you up and it’s easy to be
bent over beat down and drained
hold on tight for the rest of the night
and never say you’re feeling plain

so we run and we run and forget who we are
we all look so good on a screen
but when you choose your moments and pick your best light
you script your own tragedy
so we waste no time with a make believe life
and inflate every detail we see
still you know the best now that it’s off your chest
you’re nobody who’s coming clean

your hardships and failures all done up in lights
are no more than mediocrity
5 days of work and a homemade chicken wrap
are nothing we needed to see

Now you’re anxious and stressed and becoming depressed
as you fight to be famous from home
and we stay up at night under blue glowing light
and count little hearts on a phone

so we run and we run and forget who we are
we all look so good on a screen
but when you choose your moments and pick your best light
you script your own tragedy
so we waste no time with a make believe life
and inflate every detail we see
still you know the best now that it’s off your chest
you’re nobody who’s coming clean

my name is no one
i’m special and better and bigger and faster
and damn i’m amazing
i’m in love with myself and i'll shout it out loud
you’re a putz if you’re not just like me

yeah money and looks can be one for the books
if you’re born into fortune and ease
but being yourself when you’re not raised with wealth’s
like investing in the lottery

so we run and we run and forget who we are
we all look so good on a screen
but when you choose your moments and pick your best light
you script your own tragedy
so we waste no time with a make believe life
and inflate every detail we see
still you know the best now that it’s off your chest
you’re nobody who’s coming clean
