[Verse 1]

Okay, we think we're in control 'til we're not

Then we're helpless, and

You turn your head

The big empty comes along

I don't wanna know how much money I got left, I-I-I

I don't wanna see my phone or read my messages

I wanna starve myself until I'm beautiful

Hey, what the fuck is that?

Thought I could fix myself without the dysphoria

Paul heard some philosopher said "Hope is fear and fear is hope"

I'm Sisyphus, and you're the rock I'm pushing

[Chorus]

There I go again, projecting on you

And I hate myself, so I turn it into art

Or something dumb, put my armor on

No one can hurt me when I, I put my armor on

(Ah)

[Verse 2]

Hey, hey, hey

How come I only wanna fix it once the truck breaks down?

Ends up in the gutter, begging for forgiveness

If Hell is real, how do I know for sure?

I ain't living in it already right damn now?

All around, history is repeating itself

I'm on a plane kinda hoping that it goes down

I bet there's gotta be a peace that you get

When you finally know the ride's gonna end

[Chorus]

There I go again, projecting on you

And I hate myself, so I turn it into art

Or something dumb, put my armor on

No one can hurt me when I, I put my armor on

[Bridge]

It fucks with my head when I need you

So I build a wall, baby, brick by brick

I need new ways to outrun you

But ain't nothing changing

Something's gotta take a break here quick

[Verse 3]

Okay, I guess we just go until we die

I had my shift drink, now I'm dancing down the starting line

You're so aware that your time is running out

I said, "Time is love, what I'm scared of is an empty mouth"

Love is time, love is looking for your keys in the couch

Love is knowing you gon' say some dumb shit, run your mouth

Love is time, time is love, love is pride

If I take my armor off, would you put that blade through my side?

[Chorus]

There I go again, projecting on you

And I hate myself, so I turn it into art

Or something dumb, put my armor on

No one can hurt me when I, I put my armor on
