I woke this mornin´ undecided
My demons takin´ over my life, yeah
Sooner or later it´s a family divided
These patterns gettin´ hard to hide, yeah

They say I should be satisfied
They tell me I got the world, but that´s a lie
I wished the way I feel could be pacified, sometimes
I wish I was somebody
Anybody but myself
Oh, I wish I was somebody
Anybody but myself

If I told you I´m ´bout to break would you look at me different?
Character out of place, would I lose your attention?
Let me know your intentions, cause lately I been watchin´ everybody
It´s apparent that transparency never seen monotony
Got off of tour, lookin´ for closure

Mixin´ emotion of bein´ grateful and feelin´ like some of y´all gettin´ over
What´s a puppet on stage, singin´ and dancin´ ablaze?
But trading his worth, distorted by the money that´s made
A slave with a verse, I feel like Prince Rogers
I feel liberation is free, I feel I should miss the Oscars
Are you celebrating me as the artist or just a profit?
A question I have for the ones around me that´s turnin´ toxic
My lungs been heavy from all the smokescreen boobytraps
Reminiscin´ on what it was, and knowin´ that this ain´t that
I vision a rock in a hard place

Hope my daughter isn´t born with a piece of my heartbreak
You know stress carries on and your kids reap the mistakes that you made
And I admit that I can be dismissive if I can´t relate
And I admit that I only commit to start playin´ games
And I admit that I´m bad at talkin´ myself out of shame
But who´s to blame when the crowds stop cheerin´ and they passin´ dirty looks?
I now understand that I´ll never be understood

Isolation didn´t work for me (Work for me)
Socializing didn´t work for me
Prayed about it, didn´t work for me (Work for me)
You can´t cure this disease

The pain too traumatic for relief
Pull up the curtains, let the audience see

I wish I was somebody (Somebody else, oh, somebody else, oh)
Anybody but myself (Somebody else, oh)
Oh, I wish I was somebody (Somebody else, oh)
Anybody but myself
