[Verse 1]
I know just where to cut
I never really was
One to refrain from drawing blood
Typically my own
In ways that don't quite show
Surrounded by love, yet alone

[Chorus]
I'm afraid that all I am is fake
Pretending I'm not out of place
Or burning with self-hate
Forever missing yesterday
But can never stay
Present, drift away

[Verse 2]
Allow myself to rust
My heart collecting dust
My mind keeps repeating, "You're not enough"
It has me by the throat
A death grip stranglehold
I fear it's the last thing I'll know

[Chorus]
I'm afraid that all I am is fake
Pretending I'm not out of place
Or burning with self-hate
Forever missing yesterday
But can never stay
Present, drift away
[Post-Chorus]
Has me by the throat
Death grip stranglehold
I know just where to cut

[Bridge]
Is there a hole inside my brain
Pulling every thought into a negative space?
A gravity I can't escape
Weighted my head to a pillow for days
But I still won't say

[Chorus]
I'm afraid that all I am is fake
Pretending I'm not out of place
Or burning with self-hate
Forever missing yesterday
But can never stay
Present, drift away
I'm afraid that all I am is fake
Pretending I'm not out of place
Or burning with self-hate
Forever missing yesterday
But can never stay
Present, drift away
