lyrics

Tell me, am I awake, or am I asleep?
In a simulation - an algorithmic dream
of my own invention, a Truman show reprise
that I'm not escaping? I throw myself at the wall
I'd break my bones to fit in where I belong
to know that feeling

I – I'm out in the line
don't know how to get onto
the guest list
I'm circling the party
sounds so fun and I'm gonna miss it
I'm out in the line, don't know how to
get onto the guest list

is this some kind of joke?
Am I just a clown? like a jester dancing
dancing til I fall down
anything to please you cause I live for the sound
of applause and laughter
I always thought that was key
cause all I ever wanted was just to be
invited in to the party

I – I'm out in the line
don't know how to get onto
the guest list
You push me out like a bad organ
and I think it's bullshit
I'm out in the line, don't know how
to get onto the guest list

I tried so hard but I
I'm giving up
I fought so long but I
I'm giving up
been woke so long that I
I'm getting tired and I
I can't keep waiting around, so I

I'm leaving the line, I don't care
if I'm not on the guest list
the party can't be that good if I'm
not in there, so fuck this
You pushed me out like a bad organ
and I think it's bullshit
that's it! I'm leaving the line
I don't need this, it's just time to move on
bigger and better is waiting out on the horizon
I'm leaving the line, I'm out tonight
Leaving the line, I'm out the line
Leaving the line, I'm out, goodbye

Am I awake,
or am I asleep?
