burnt out former gifted kid - kid pixie lyrics

my entire self is (f*ck)

my entire self is built from praise i received in adolescence
and the every growing fear that i’m just getting less impressive
told me i was special never taught me how to not be
i’m flying straight into the sun and baby it’s to late to stop me

top of the class dead at the bottom of the barrel
i’m drowning in the plot of my forever dress rehearsal
had my piece of cake but i can’t stomach bread and b*tter
i take my better self to bed just to hide under the covers

am i a burnt out former gifted kid or just a lazy narcissist
was i always gonna be like this or is it something we could have avoided
my identity rests on each performance
real is a risk and i can’t afford it
i need your love and to ignore it
now clap

i retrace my steps follow the trail of perfect scores
unsurprised to realize that i’ve always been this bored
always obsessed with winning and proud of not having to try
always imprisoned in perception hating the self i won’t apply
i’ll do almost anything to avoid being alone
with all that so much potential and the half assed seeds i’ve sown
it’s like the opposite of stage fright a fear still undefined
trying to think about it feels like reading a strangers mind

the writings on the fourth wall, the stage is growing fragile
but i need to see you see me or my reality unravels
a string of desperate measures, a tangled can’t grow up
i’ll implode if you ignore me, and excuse to self destruct

its a lonely vain exhibit a burning house of glass
nothing i do matters til i share it with the class
i had barely learned to tie it before the shoe was dropping
compulsive causing scenes cause i’m not real if you’re not watching
i’m not real if you’re not watching
