Sold to me Lyrics

I hate pretending like I like it here

The incessant chatter's so mundane

I'll nod my head and smile, the compulsive liar

Oh what I'd trade

So I plot my escape

Why does all of my

Self-esteem come

From how I'm perceived

You mind your manners

Don't wanna come off as boring

I'm so sick of always saying yes to things

Value made up currencies

I've fallen for what they're selling me

I hate catching up in local bars

I guess my temperaments better to deal with

When there's liquor involved

Unanimous informed consent

Oh the deafening silence

I'm such a pain

I think that's what they say

Why does all of my

Self-esteem come

From how I'm perceived

Gotta mind my manners

Can't afford to come off as boring

I'm so sick of always saying yes to things

Value made up currencies

I've fallen for what they're selling

And now that it's been over

I have to have it

I took for granted

The things that used to be

And now that it's all over

I'm chasing childhood memories

And what they mean to me

I remember when we

Were camping under stars in Upstate New York as summer nights got colder

Sitting on the corner claiming cars we'd drive when we were older

Spending all day raking mountains of leaves to topple when the day was over

Oh God I miss it, it was simple it was beautiful

We were love drunk off each other

And the promise of our friendship

Hoping it would last forever

Like those nights that never ended

Now we all just text on birthdays

Why does it feel like I'm pretending

Do you lose the things you squeeze too tight

If so then I should let go

All of my self-esteem

Just from how I'm perceived

Mind my manners

How can I when you're all so boring


I'm so sick, miming made up normalcies that value social currencies

I've fallen for what they're selling

Oh to hell with what you've sold to me
