[Verse 1]

Nobody ever thought much of the fat kid in 5th grade

'Cause he told the jokes in hopes to cover up his pain

All he ever wanted was to fit in with the crowd

Though he never did, the crowd would become a familiar sound

[Pre-Chorus]

He couldn't see all that he'd become

And in times of weakness, strength would come

He planted seeds, but watered weeds

It only left him thirsty, but I am all I need to succeed

[Chorus]

I was searching in a landfill for authenticity

Oh-oh-oh, ay-ay-ay

I was smelling plastic roses, expecting something sweet

[Verse 2]

Nobody ever thought much of the sad boy writing songs

'Cause it takes the trophies and green paper till they tag along

When he had no voice, nobody even knew his name

But in five years time, they'll all claim that fat kid in 5th grade

[Chorus]

I was searching in a landfill for authenticity

Oh-oh-oh, ooh-ooh-ooh

I was smelling plastic roses, expecting something sweet

[Outro]

But sometimes searching in a landfill is exactly what you need
