I've been so stubborn as to argue the point I don't believe Insignificant thoughts I couldn't even concede Insecurity speakin' for me, I listen and agree At the right time, I slip away into the darkness I recede And so I straighten up my back And I shave off all my hair I've never lookin' back But all these burdens are still there Not takin' chances embedded in my own self-doubt Pretend to understand what all the books I read were about Between the lines, I find a place to hide and call my own If no one sees me, I can live with all the seeds I've sewn And so I straighten up my back And I shave off all my hair I've never lookin' back But all these burdens are still there I've straightened out my facts And I've learned how not to care I'm never looking back But all these burdens are still there If I could take just one moment to reassess myself I wouldn't do it, always too scared to ask for your help Create white noise and just keep walkin' on around my head Your intelligence won't define me when I'm dead
