lyrics

I could see their faces everywhere
I felt every eye on me
But I still can't make eye contact
So I had to leave it be
They tell me the ways they know me
And how they've seen my face before
But the feeling isn't mutual
And I don't know them at all

And I've never felt
More like a monster
And you'll tell everyone
And you'll tell everyone

That's just the way it is
Ever since we were kids
That's just the way it is
So what's the difference

I could hear the noises building
Can't be faceless in this crowd
Can't hear specifics from the speaker
One more drop before I drown
They tell the ways they fear me
How I'm angry, uncontrolled
But I can't remember anything
Now I just want to go home

And I've never felt
More like a monster
And you'll tell everyone
And you'll tell everyone

That's just the way it is
Ever since we were kids
That's just the way it is
So what's the difference

We're just trying to sing
We're just trying to play
We're never gonna fit in
You look the other way

Now all you know
Is just a monster
'Cause you told everyone
'Cause you told everyone

I made a promise, a promise in truth
I would never go back, never go back
Never go back to you
