  • I'm coming to the conclusion
    I think I would rather be
    Anyone else but me

    This straightjacket chokes me up and digs in
    This tightrope is swaying in the wind
    And it's a long way down
    No way out of this alive
    Oh, it's a long way down
    When the tension gives out
    'Cause that's when I snap
    And that's how I'm feeling now

    Oh my head, tripped and fell too hard again
    Lost myself, lost myself in the nervous wreck
    I'm coming to the conclusion
    I think I would rather be
    Anyone else but me

    This dissonance blurs the lines
    And fucks with my symmetry
    I'm one twisted butterfly
    Will never be quite good enough (will never be quite good enough)
    And I'm holding on so I don't come undone
    But I feel like giving up

    Oh my head, tripped and fell too hard again
    Lost myself, lost myself in the nervous wreck
    I'm coming to the conclusion
    I think I would rather be
    Anyone else but me

    All eyes on me
    But that's not reality
    'Cause my mind plays tricks on me
    Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
    Crawling up the walls
    Caving as they're caving in
    Claustrophobic in my own skin
    From holding it all in

    Oh my head, tripped and fell too hard again
    Lost myself, lost myself in the nervous wreck
    I'm coming to the conclusion
    I think I would rather be
    Whoa-oh, I, I think I'd rather be
    Anyone else but me
    Anyone else but me Writer/s: Benedict Kieran James Barlow, Daniel Washington, Matthew Richard West, Michael Joseph Green, Philip Michael Thorpe-Evans, Samuel Joseph Bowden
