lyrics

I'll fall down. Still, it's nice to meet you. Hoping for the best. New in town. Reaching for the apple. Better than the rest until I stumble. I recognize hardly anyone around. Uncertainty growls inside of me. Hard as hell to keep down. I shamble around, faking poise, but I'll falter, then everybody knows. Shoulders slack, I'm a joke, an impostor, pretending to the throne. Cool wins out. Still, it's nice to meet you. Better than the rest. Cruel-spun doubt. Bracing for disaster. Put me to the test. I quickly crumble. I recognize hardly anyone around. Uncertainty growls inside of me. Hard as hell to keep down. I shamble around, faking poise, but I'll falter, then everybody knows. Shoulders slack, I'm a joke, an impostor, pretending to the throne. I have a job and a website now. One day, though, everybody knows. Shoulders slack, I'm a joke, an impostor, pretending to the throne. Everybody knows.
