Lyrics
Hello, world, it's me.
I think I'm finally ready
to face my troubles, and face it with grace.
I just have to clear my space.
As I put on my armor for battle
and gear up for years' worth of evasion,
the thought of confrontation terrifies me.
And I tremble
and I falter,
But I have to speak my truth.
I have to let you know
that this tacit agreement we made without words,
it's not going to work,
cuz I'm not free.
Can't you see you're trapping me?
Hello, world, it's me.
Sorry for the debris
from this battle ahead.
I won't leave my dead.
I just have to clear my head.
Well maybe I avoid my emotions,
but now I'm here and stuck with this.
I'd rather not have to make a commotion,
but I can't dismiss.
Lost in cold abyss.
But I have to speak my truth.
I have to let you know
that this tacit agreement we made without words,
it's not going to work,
cuz I'm not free.
Can't you see you're trapping me?
