Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm noddin' my head And I smile as they brag about me They tell every soul I'm the golden child, ahead of my dreams, mm But when I'm alone, this thick blanket of pride suffocatin' my minds Makes it drainin' to shine sometimes [Chorus] I drive through the woods and I scream like a child I'm wishin' they could hear all my quiet I'm tryin' so hard to be the one they compiled But I, I can't breathe [Verse 2] I'm a window-trapped mannequin With strangers' dreams on my skin They're faker than armour But the stinging comes from within I have to get out, yeah, I'll run for my life It's not too late to thrive I won't drown in their pride this time And my pretentious incitement Just fades into silently Noddin' and smilin' [Chorus] So I drive through the woods and I scream like a child I'm wishin' they could hear all my quiet I'm tryin' so hard to be the one they compiled But I, I can't breathe [Bridge] When you gloat for the neighbours, spreadin' the word "The golden child left the nest and conquers the world" While I'm sittin' upstate in a school that you pay for Which makes me shut up, so I don't sound ungrateful [Chorus] So I drive through the woods and I scream like a child I'm wishin' they could hear all my quiet I'm tryin' so hard to be the one you desire But I, I Oh, I drive through the woods and I scream like a child I'm wishin' they could hear all my quiet And I'm tryin' so hard to be the one you desire But I, I can't breathe [Outro] Oh, I, I
