[Verse]

She said I’m out of serotonin

Like a PhD in neuroscience taught her anything about the moment

Like she’s ever lived her life out loud

She’ll never break me open

She should quit her job and hand it to you, no one’s ever read me like an omen

Like you know me from the inside out

It must have been a mishap

Get off easy with a wrist-slap, like I don’t understand

I’m the scourge of the land with your fate in my hands

And no way out

[Pre-Chorus]

So keep your head down

Keep your head down

You’ll be safe now

But surely somebody knows

[Chorus]

Hold me and stay close, stay close

Only if you say so, say so

I’ll be the scapegoat, scapegoat

No one has to know

Be silent and lay low, lay low

White lines and safe zones, fake homes

I’ll be the scapegoat, scapegoat

I can take the blow for you

I think I’m living a lie

[Verse]

She said I’m high up on the list though

Like a hundred days of journal writing taught me to come back to San Francisco

Like I’m dumb enough to fall back down

I’ll never trust the system

Haven’t seen them since November and it’s only been since never that I missed them

Am I a showman or a one-man crowd?

I’ll lead you through the glue trap

Leave you dangling by your bootstraps

Like I don’t understand

I’m a husk of a man with your blood on my hands

And they found out

[Pre-Chorus]

So keep your head down

Keep your head down

You’ll be safe now

I’ll still watch over your ghost

[Chorus]

Hold me and stay close, stay close

Only if you say so, say so

I’ll be the scapegoat, scapegoat

No one has to know

Be silent and lay low, lay low

White lines and safe zones, fake homes

I’ll be the scapegoat, scapegoat

I can take the blow for you

But you

[Outro]

Don’t know anything about this

So put your money where your mouth is

And who you tryna impress? Ah-ahh

Put your money where your mouth is, ah-ahh

Oh-ohh I think I’m living a lie
