Perplexed

I've been struggling to get my breaths in

I've been trying too hard to find an exit

I've been making bad decisions that don't affect me

And I've been intent on bad intentions that don't reflect me

I've been working too fucking hard to be better, but I can't help it

I've been away for way too long and I'll admit that I'm embarrassed

But I collapse into myself when I can't cope with all the bad shit

And I've been tryna be a man, but I don't even know what that means

I'm on fire

I'm on fire

I'm a liar

But it's all for you

Pariahs make good liars

But we're triers

The more you say, the more I'm likely to ignore you

He's been struggling to eat his breakfast

She's got stones in her lungs and they're getting heavy

They're seventeen, but they're dealing with all these stresses

They can't believe we've been looking for ways to end it

I've been entertaining my demons and they love the shows I play them

All I need is for someone I can escape with

All I want is for somebody who can change me

All I ask is that you listen and be patient

They don't read into the issues that we're facing

They're not satisfied with things that might perplex them

They play God, but in that case my faith is empty

I hope they won't hold that against me while

I'm on fire (I'm on fire)

I'm on fire (I'm on fire)

I'm a liar

But it's all for you

Pariahs make good liars

But we're triers

The more you say, the more I'm likely to ignore you

I'm no good, bad luck has had a great run on me

Pull me out please

I don't know what you want from me

I want you to believe that I'm tryin'

I'm on fire

I'm on fire

I'm a liar

But it's all for you

Pariahs make good liars

But we're triers

The more you say, the more I'm likely to ignore you

I need somebody who can change me (I'm on fire)

I need somebody who can change me (I'm on fire)

(I'm on fire)

But it's all for you (Make me feel so wrong)

Pariahs make good liars

But we're triers

The more you say, the more I'm likely to ignore you
