(I'll be the fool, yeah, I'll be the thief)
Didn't know there was a frontline till I had to face
Twenty thousand friends who just looked the other way
When I cut off my armour
They don't act the same
I just keep my head up, used to empty space
A holster for my cheap wine to try to keep me safe
Protect me from my own mind
Cause it keeps me wide awake
I've grown faithless
I can't fake it
So call my bluff yeah call me out
I'll be dead by the night
If I don't get it right on the first time
I can barely survive
If I don't try to run on the highline
So I'll be the fool yeah I'll be the thief
I'll be the ghost just to get what I need
Heavily fortified
So I dare you to give it your best try
This smile don't mean I'm fine
It's just my disguise
Laugh through gritted teeth
Good at faking that I'm fine
The mirror that I speak to
Has a thousand eyes
I get all the attention but they don't know the truth
Imposter in my heavy head tells me what to do
This 2am anxiety
Pumps a hole straight through my chest
I've grown faithless
I can't fake it
So call my bluff yeah call me out
I'll be dead by the night
If I don't get it right on the first time
I can barely survive
If I don't try to run on the highline
So I'll be the fool yeah I'll be the thief
I'll be the ghost just to get what I need
Heavily fortified
So I dare you to give it your best try
I'll be on the news
But you won't recognise my face
Cause I'll be someone new
Sipping on my gold champagne
Cause I'm sick of all your bullshit all your labels so psychotic
I should go and get some petrol fill my mouth up and go mental
I should run into a fire let you drown me with your choir
If I'll never win the race I'll just cut you from the wire
I'll be dead by the night
If I don't get it right on the first time
I can barely survive
If I don't try to run on the Highline
So I'll be the fool yeah I'll be the thief
I'll be the ghost just to get what I need
Heavily fortified
So I dare you to give it your best try
