opening my eyes
oh what a surprise
another day spent
telling myself lies

terror on the rise
oh what a surprise
everywhere you look
people in disguise

a new day has dawn
the good times are gone
can't trust anyone
they'll use you like a pawn

don't let your guard down
don't smile just frown
if they get too close
they'll bury you underground

[@jonathankennedy]
oh no, they watchin’, they plottin’, they lurkin’
guess i’ll just flex while they study my version
smile too bright? now they call me suspicious
too much shine? got ‘em mad and malicious

should i run? should i hide? should i whisper and pout?
nah, i’m loud in the sun while they drown in their doubt
if they schemin’, then cool; i’ll just tax ‘em like rent
yeah, i live in their heads, let ‘em pay for my tent

opening my eyes
oh what a surprise
another day spent
telling myself lies

when i look in the mirror
i feel that old familiar fear
like someone's looking back
waiting to attack

my worst enemy
stares right back at me
how can i trust the world
if i can't even trust myself?
