No amount of change will fit you in
You’re unnervingly obscure
They’re already what you want to be
Yet you’ll never be what they want to see

Something is off about you
Only through romance has someone realized
That you’re a person too

And then all their faults become yours
And flawed is what you are
And you’re scared to look God in the eye

And you know what’s wrong
And you know it’s wrong
And you know you’re wrong

That’s why you’re repulsed at what you are
Yet you return to your own ***** like a dog
Just like that one kindergarten song

I view my actions from afar
A slave to weakness, I can’t defeat this
I feel trapped within a jar
And like a fly as time goes by
When the lid is open I cannot go far

I’m trapped by my own vices
Never told a soul
Pretend that it’s all okay
Just keep moving on

And again and again
I repeat, I repent, I offend
And I look away
Then back again
