Somebody

[Intro]

I woke this mornin' undecided

My demons takin' over my life, yeah

Sooner or later it's a family divided

These patterns gettin' hard to hide, yeah

[Chorus]

They say I should be satisfied

They tell me I got the world, but that's a lie

I wished the way I feel could be pacified, sometimes

I wish I was somebody

Anybody but myself

Oh, I wish I was somebody

Anybody but myself

[Verse]

If I told you I'm 'bout to break would you look at me different?

Character out of place, would I lose your attention?

Let me know your intentions, cause lately I been watchin' everybody

It's apparent that transparency never seen monotony

Got off of tour, lookin' for closure

Mixin' emotions of bein' grateful and feelin' like some of y'all gettin' over

What's a puppet on stage, singin' and dancin' ablaze?

But trading his worth, distorted by the money that's made

A slave with a verse, I feel like Prince Rogers

I feel liberation is free, I feel I should miss the Oscars

Are you celebrating me as the artist or just a profit?

A question I have for the ones around me that's turnin' toxic

My lungs been heavy from all the smokescreen boobytraps

Reminiscin' on what it was, and knowin' that this ain't that

I vision a rock in a hard place

Hope my daughter isn't born with a piece of my heartbreak

You know stress carries on and your kids reap the mistakes that you made

And I admit that I can be dismissive if I can't relate

And I admit that I only commit to start playin' games

And I admit that I'm bad at talkin' myself out of shame

But who's to blame when the crowds stop cheerin' and they passin' dirty looks?

I now understand that I'll never be understood

[Bridge]

Isolation didn't work for me (Work for me)

Socializing didn't work for me even

Prayed about it, didn't work for me (Work for me)

You can't cure this disease

The pain too traumatic for relief

Pull up the curtains, let the audience see

[Chorus]

I wish I was somebody (Somebody else, oh, somebody else, oh)

Anybody but myself (Somebody else, oh)

Oh, I wish I was somebody (Somebody else, oh)

Anybody but myself
