Someone Else

Lyrics

[Intro: Ben Schuller] When you look back at a man that's been living the life that you thought you had yourself What you see in your eyes, all the veins and the lies, telling stories you can't tell And I know, and I know that I think every thought, every feeling that I've felt But the face that I've etched in my skin is not me, it's someone else [Verse 1: Rustage] When I'm talking, I don't think I'm present Keep on going through the motions, while my brain is doing risk assessment Stressing 'bout my interjections, lessons that I've been forgetting Ignoring my own thinking, whilst thеy yap at them in quick succession Looking at their fixеd expression, really leave a shit impression Holding up my arsenal, but people talk with different weapons Subtleties can shift perceptions, changing with the wind directions Hover at my body, screaming at me for my lack of indiscretion Feel I'm not even myself like I'm piloting a mech Got a myriad of thoughts that keep on fighting in my head Always seem to think I'm coping, but it's tightened in my breath Feel I'm frozen in a moment, but the time will never end I'm emotionally a burden when I'm writing this to friends 'Cause part of me wouldn't listen if they cry to me instead And I fear that my reactions are to lie and play pretend Just appeasing what I need to like I'm trying to impress [Pre-Chorus: Ben Schuller] When you look back at a man that's been living the life that you thought you had yourself What you see in your eyes, all the veins and the lies, telling stories you can't tell And I know, and I know that I think every thought, every feeling that I've felt But the face that I've etched in my skin is not me, it's someone else [Chorus: Ben Schuller] La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la I feel like someone else La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la I feel like someone else La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la I feel like someone else I feel like someone else [Verse 2: Rustage] Listen to recordings, not remembering what they said Find it hard to focus, but when focused and I'm brain-dead Must be so frustrating to talk to me and try make friends When I'm busy thinking 'bout some stupid shit that ain't there Like my brain don't play fair Waking up at night, and now I'm sleeping in the AM Said it wasn't right, but then I never start to take steps Waste away my life, and I'm repeating all the same trends, wish that I could change them Maybe I'm a picture and spent my whole life creating I'm choosing the different colours, I'm painting across my face and The lining that I have copied to covered with all my tracing I'm just memories, a package and all the words that I'm saying I'm not even motivated and any goals that I'm chasing Aware of my own mentality everyday that I'm aging One minute, I'm living happy and everything is amazing But the dark is coming quickly, I feel like I'm slowly fading [Pre-Chorus: Ben Schuller] When you look back at a man that's been living the life that you thought you had yourself What you see in your eyes, all the veins and the lies, telling stories you can't tell And I know, and I know that I think every thought, every feeling that I've felt But the face that I've etched in my skin is not me, it's someone else [Chorus: Ben Schuller] La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la I feel like someone else La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la I feel like someone else La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la I feel like someone else I feel like someone else
