about

"It's easier to live in exaggeration than reality. People only see what you want them to see."

lyrics

Well I bet
When they catch you and cut you open
Spill your life on the dock
A mound of gold and broken hearts
Will come barreling out on the floorboards washing up on shore
Like Golden trash
Of the people that you were before

And I know
This will be a rude awakening
Letting people see
The monster dwelling underneath
Well your Instagram perfect, self centered portraits
Never show the truth
As long as you keep stacking views

This isn't easy to write about
Watch your heart sink as these words fire out my mouth
If there's one thing for sure
It’s that you’ve said these lines before
The only difference
Is I don't care anymore

La didi da, didi da...

Well I watched
As the waves took their toll on you
It ain't an easy life
Getting punch drunk with the tide
But then you chose to stay, watched him die a bit everyday
You learned to lie to survive

This wasn't easy to write about
I questioned my own worth as these words fired out my mouth
If there's one thing that’s true
Is it ain't easy being you
The only difference
Is I don't care anymore

La didi da, didi da...

We got old and the fire died
And all these ghosts won’t keep you warm at night
Tossing in bed, wracking your head, too scared
To admit you're all alone

La didi da, didi da...
