i wanna be anyone
i wanna be anyone anyone else
anyone else but me

give it up for a thicker shell
i wanna be anyone anyone else
so what’s it gonna be?

don’t care if it hurts like hell
tear away every sticky cell
that feels anything anything anything like myself

don’t need anybody’s help
i’m gonna be anyone anyone else

yeah the shell is strong but the body’s weak
you gotta learn how to yell before you learn how to speak
it’s all bitter work with your face in the dirt
do you think it’ll sting do you think it’ll hurt
i want the burning taste of infinity
put the scales in my eyes where everybody can see
i just wanna be ok
and i don’t wanna be myself today 

nothing left to call home
half a season to be alone, be alone again
what’s it take to leave

my skin keeps getting tight
i need someone dig me out dig me out tonight
teach me how to breathe

nothing left in this shithole town
gonna burn it all burn it all burn it all down
so what’s it gonna be?

calling out for a god to help
i’m gonna be anyone anyone else

yeah the shell is strong but the body’s weak
you gotta learn how to yell before you learn how to speak
it’s all bitter work with your face in the dirt
do you think it’ll sting do you think it’ll hurt
i want the burning taste of infinity
put the scales in my eyes where everybody can see
i just wanna be ok
i just wanna be ok

 i left a decent life for a step outside
when it all comes down, will we be alright
(hold on to me, hold on to me)
i swear i’m on a knife’s edge waiting to fall for anything
i don’t care what the future  brings
i just gotta get away from the rest of me
(hold on to me, hold on to me)
i don’t wanna be dead, i just wanna be free
i don’t wanna be dead, i just wanna be free

yeah the shell is strong but the body’s weak
you gotta learn how to yell before you learn how to speak
it’s all bitter work with your face in the dirt
do you think it’ll sting do you think it’ll hurt
i want the burning taste of infinity
put the scales in my eyes where everybody can see
i’m getting sick and tired of the shape i’m in
do you think it’ll fail, do you think it’s a sin
as i disappear in the hole in the sky
was it worth all the pain? was it all just a lie?
my body's getting sore
and i'm not gonna be myself anymore
