I changed my mind I told them that they could smoke inside Hotboxed the whole house as I left and called a ride It didn't come I walked back home to say I did Acting like that time was the last time I'd do it Holding a dress And a red blazer I confirmed with the hosts and guests That it wouldn't phase them Like I thought it would They've seen worse than what I've seen They've been lower than where I may be I didn't have what they were drinking what they were lighting If someone got it wrong I wouldn't start fighting Couldn't lose myself to throwbacks, I was distracted I confess You think less of yourself when you feel like you don't belong in this dress They don't say when I'm there, they don't say it when I leave Even when I'm safe I can't let myself be I never tried to make a difference I never wanted to be an inconvenience Taking up space never knowing how to handle it right Damned to the tunnel no proof of light I never went through what they went through and they didn't have a choice All the things they got used to But this is where they shake it loose And In this room I still can't move They're still belting live from the right of the dial No surprise my voice gave in after a while I had my moments but I couldn't relax Glimpse at the wrong angle all I think after the fact I'm trying not to call attention to myself Everyone knows I'm standing there no one asks or tells Say it when I'm there and they say it when I leave How much they "want to get it right" but in this fit that's a reach I could let myself go but I can't let myself be more vulnerable Have you heard these songs, that's not possible How do you compartmentalize Teach me sometime I know I'll need it Despite myself, so far I'm standing But I can't stand to take another step Despite myself, singing "I don't wanna die in here' but I don't wanna lose it all out there" I never went through what they went through and they didn't have a choice All the things they got used to But in this room they shake it loose In this room I still can't move I cannot go through what you go through just to live another day What keeps you alive in this time and place In this room I still can't move In this room I still can't move And when the music gets too loud what joy do you get out of it? I want to feel freer too But I can't move in this room But I can't move in this room How do you? In a word I'm lost In a world where it's never made sense To be anyone But who I was Though I show my heavy hand I don't understand what else to say Then the future is over and it's too late And I'm a coward to the day they leave for space As we're consumed by literal flames And you find ways to distract, to cope, overcome How do you? It's something I'll use I'll miss the late nights out walking If not the reasons I was up that late But I might be up anyway Wondering if I'll be okay Causes I have no clue Am I enough Nobody is That's not much But at least it's true
