[Verse 1]

No choice for the feeling but to fester

No chance I could cover it with my shell

No shade at the center of the center

You think you're someone

Who thinks he's somebody else

[Chorus]

But you're only yourself

You're only yourself

You're only yourself

You're only yourself

[Verse 2]

The death march of complexity and context

High art how we cannibalized ourselves

The real threat oils up and shovels popcorn

You swear it's someone

Turns out it's somebody else

[Chorus]

You're only yourself

You're only yourself

You're only yourself

You're only yourself

[Bridge]

Come on inside

Sleep in my skull

Hole in my head

And I never feel full

The weight of the world

Is a nursery rhyme:

"We've got nothing but time"

[Verse 3]

Full stop at the genesis of language

No words for the bottomless depths we felt

Black bark chokes the forest of our knowledge

I can't be someone

I can't be somebody else

[Outro]

I'm only myself

I'm only myself

I'm only myself

I'm only myself

I'm only myself

I'm only myself

I'm only myself

I'm only myself
