[Verse 1]

Do you ever wonder why

I only show up in blurry photographs

Why I feel I have to hide

When others' perceptions give me panic attacks

[Pre-Chorus]

So when I am out, I'm out behind trees

I'll hide in the forest where I can be free

Maybe to you it sounds a little strange

[Chorus]

But maybe I can't be

A supermodel skinny kinda pretty girl

Maybe I wanna be a cryptid

Maybe I don't wanna exist in this world

When everyone's comments turn into scars

When everyone lies and says "Be who you are,"

What if I wanna be a cryptid?

Maybe my ideal body is Bigfoot's

[Verse 2]

Do you think that I'd still hate my body

If I grew wings and disappeared into the sky?

I don't think anybody's words would matter

When I could swoop down and kill them from thirty feet high

[Pre-Chorus]

So when I feel sad, I'll screech in the night

Confuse all my neighbors and give them a fright

Then wonder why they think I'm a little strange

[Chorus]

Maybe I can't be

A supermodel skinny kinda pretty girl

Maybe I wanna be a cryptid

Maybe I don't wanna exist in this world

When everyone's comments turn into scars

When everyone lies and says "Be who you are,"

What if I wanna be a cryptid?

Maybe my ideal body is Mothman's

[Verse 3]

Lately, I've been putting the cry in cryptid

Wishing I could melt into swamps

Beady red eyes can't see beauty standards

And stealing someone's skin would hide all my flaws

[Chorus]

Maybe I can't be

A supermodel skinny kinda pretty girl

Maybe I wanna be a cryptid

Maybe I don't wanna exist in this world

When everyone's comments turn into scars

When everyone lies and says "Be who you are,"

What if I wanna be a cryptid?

Maybe my ideal body is Mothman's
