i don’t fit in anywhere. it’s not superficial - not my clothes
and not my hair
and i act like it don’t matter and pretend that i don’t care
but i don’t fit in anywhere
i remember back at school. melting into the walls.
staring out the window
an invisible boy runnin’ down the hall
helpless as a minnow trying to swim upstream
bumping into angry strangers
and an impossible american dream
i don’t fit in anywhere. i don’t fit in anywhere.
i pretend that it don’t matter and i act like i don’t care but...
can’t hide inside a bottle. can’t hide behind a guitar
can’t buy into the myth that what you do is who you are
