[Chorus]

Okay, I can get a little violent

My ego out in outer space

I listen for the birds in silence

But I can only hear warplanes

I can only hear warplanes

But I can only hear—


[Verse 1]

Is this not what you wanted?

Self-immolation, inflammatory habits

Humiliation, my open wounds don't bleed

But there's blood stains on my sleeves

Is this not what we started?

No bones hidden deeper in our closet

Ooh, I don't know who you are to me

I must've killed you in my dreams


[Bridge]

Sell out, boy, embrace the fame

Make everybody know your—

Everybody know your—

Everybody know your name

Can you feel my paranoia? (Ah)

At least I'm self-aware

I know that everyone has issues

I don't care

Paper planes midair


[Chorus]

Okay, I can get a little violent

My ego out in outer space

I listen for the birds in silence

But I can only hear warplanes

I can only hear warplanes

But I can only hear—


[Verse 2]

I don't feel the same since

Everybody changed so fast, but they're faceless

Teo says it's calm, blackout to my playlist

Walk on two paths, two moons on my spaceship

It's the same shit, man

Throwback 2020, everybody on vacation

Never thought I'd be who I am today, shit

You don't wanna make a change, okay then

Flying paper planes into walls of a basement

You know what I mean?

(One, two, three, four)

Yeah, you know what I mean


[Outro]

Okay, I can get a little violent

My ego out in outer space

I listen for the birds in silence

But I can only hear warplanes

I can only hear warplanes

Yeah, I can only hear—
