lyrics

I don't know how to talk without feigning a voice
I don't know how to sing without feigning a voice
I don't know how to live without feigning a boy
I don't know how to talk without feigning a voice

What's your favorite me?
Which limited edition do you like best?
I'd be happy to make adjustments
If you'd put them to the test
What's my vision mean
If I make my product for all the rest?
I'm my own project
I'm not finished yet

What am I trying to be?
The future's blurry at its best
And the autopilot's busted
So this bird can't leave its nest
What's my destiny?
Have I had my fortune told in jest?
It's like the world I possess
And now my fingers are wet

I can be a mess
I can be a clown
I can hold you tight
I can stick around
I can climb a hill
I can roll back down
I can look for myself
But I can't be found

Why can I not see?
A little too timid to invest
A character is a gamble
And I've emptied out my chest
So where does that leave me?
With no fine tuning, without zest
I have no project
I'm a shriveled mess
