[Intro: Ben Schuller]
When you look back at a man that's been living the life that you thought you had yourself
What you see in your eyes, all the veins and the lies, telling stories you can’t tell
And I know, and I know that I think every thought, every feeling that I've felt
But the face that I've etched in my skin is not me, it’s someone else
[Verse 1: Rustage]
When I'm talking, I don't think I'm present
Keep on going through the motions, while my brain is doing risk assessment
Stressing 'bout my interjections, lessons that I've been forgetting
Ignoring my own thinking, whilst thеy yap at them in quick succession
Looking at their fixеd expression, really leave a shit impression
Holding up my arsenal, but people talk with different weapons
Subtleties can shift perceptions, changing with the wind directions
Hover at my body, screaming at me for my lack of indiscretion
Feel I'm not even myself like I'm piloting a mech
Got a myriad of thoughts that keep on fighting in my head
Always seem to think I’m coping, but it’s tightened in my breath
Feel I'm frozen in a moment, but the time will never end
I’m emotionally a burden when I'm writing this to friends
'Cause part of me wouldn't listen if they cry to me instead
And I fear that my reactions are to lie and play pretend
Just appeasing what I need to like I’m trying to impress
[Pre-Chorus: Ben Schuller]
When you look back at a man that's been living the life that you thought you had yourself
What you see in your eyes, all the veins and the lies, telling stories you can't tell
And I know, and I know that I think every thought, every feeling that I've felt
But the face that I've etched in my skin is not me, it's someone else
[Chorus: Ben Schuller]
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
I feel like someone else
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la
I feel like someone else
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
I feel like someone else
I feel like someone else
[Verse 2: Rustage]
Listen to recordings, not remembering what they said
Find it hard to focus, but when focused and I'm brain-dead
Must be so frustrating to talk to me and try make friends
When I'm busy thinking 'bout some stupid shit that ain't there
Like my brain don't play fair
Waking up at night, and now I'm sleeping in the AM
Said it wasn't right, but then I never start to take steps
Waste away my life, and I'm repeating all the same trends, wish that I could change them
Maybe I'm a picture and spent my whole life creating
I'm choosing the different colours, I'm painting across my face and
The lining that I have copied to covered with all my tracing
I'm just memories, a package and all the words that I'm saying
I'm not even motivated and any goals that I'm chasing
Aware of my own mentality everyday that I'm aging
One minute, I'm living happy and everything is amazing
But the dark is coming quickly, I feel like I'm slowly fading
[Pre-Chorus: Ben Schuller]
When you look back at a man that's been living the life that you thought you had yourself
What you see in your eyes, all the veins and the lies, telling stories you can't tell
And I know, and I know that I think every thought, every feeling that I've felt
But the face that I've etched in my skin is not me, it's someone else
[Chorus: Ben Schuller]
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
I feel like someone else
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la
I feel like someone else
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
I feel like someone else
I feel like someone else
