Lyrics
It's only dawned on me now
Realization hits me just now
That empty kind of light
A dim, unfulfilling brightness
Never have to reach out
No need to seek help or support
Demand a fairer fight
Not insisting on a fairer competition
If I don't make the cut
If I fail to meet the standard
If I don't play by the book
If I don't conform to expectations
If I tear my heart out over us
If I emotionally invest too much in 'us'
If I lose my shit and start to curse
If I lose control and express anger
It's easier for me now
It's simpler for me now
The isolation we found
The solitude we've experienced
Has opened up some new ground
Has revealed new perspectives
I never have to reach out
Again, no need to seek help or support
So if I don't make the cut
If I fail to meet the standard
If I don't play by the book
If I don't conform to expectations
If I tear my heart out over us
If I emotionally invest too much in 'us'
If I lose my shit and start to curse
If I lose control and express anger
Another social reject
Portrayed as socially unaccepted
Another burnt out weirdo
Seen as someone exhausted and unconventional
Another black sheep running
Identified as an outsider or nonconformist
Just don't come asking me, though
Don't expect me to assist or participate
