Lyrics

The doubt never fades away
It isn't black and white there's more shades of grey
I never wanna leave I'm afraid to stay
Drowning in the words I'm afraid to say
The doubt never fades away
It isn't black and white there's more shades of grey
I'm drowning in the words I'm afraid to say
My doctor says I don't know how to relax
I tell her get inside my head and you can see where I'm at
I'm like my son how I'm shedding off the coat of my past
Now I'm past the point of caring if you're listening to my raps
I've let down everyone who's trusted me
I'm running out of stories like its all too much for me
I got one more left to tell I know it's up to me
So I look down at my iPhone and load up the beat
Bring nothing to the house except the mortar and bricks
I wouldn't say I'm awful but I'm hating the bits
And when I make it out I'll put the stars in my own sky
Platinum on my finger but it's modest it's so shy
Got love for the twins but I prefer the distant sister
At least until I realised I'll never be a mister
Change an R to an X, will I be scarred to an X?
I'm not my mother or your mother so the fathers are next
Cut it off like all the hair on my body
Thought I was destined for the penthouse I'm stuck in the lobby
Booted down the closet door, skeletons are roaming free
No-one's getting under me, no-one's getting over me
Smallest that I've been since I was 17, I feel great
Got another manicure I don't know how to celebrate
And I start to disassociate, I don't know who I am
My momma didn't save me from that suicide attempt
Just for me to stand alone and say some lies I never meant
Call me what you want but please respect that I am not a man
Eliminate the numbers I don't care if you don't understand
Feeling like Misato how I wanna drink the pain away
Feeling like I'm Shinji how I really want a friend to stay
Feeling like I'm Rei I know that I'm so easily replaced
Feeling like I'm Kaworu I was sent here from another place
I was kissing boys before I knew that I was not a boy
Before I finish crying write a rhyme and make it wild
Ripping at my skin, I know that I can never win
I hate being me it's amazing - confessions of a problem child
Ripping at my skin, I know that I can never win
I hate being me it's amazing
The doubt never fades away
It isn't black and white there's more shades of grey
I never wanna leave I'm afraid to stay
Drowning in the words I'm afraid to say
The doubt never fades away
It isn't black and white there's more shades of grey
I'm drowning in the words I'm afraid to say
