Lyrics
Amateur Standing
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Are you right about everything
It's all the maps that we have mistaken for the world
Sharp pieces of science that cut into our skin
Are they right about everything
Are you tired
Are you right
But I would rather shape my soul than furnish it
And I'm tired of waking up and worrying if someone else is talking about me
and all the things that I've done wrong
I know that I'm worth more than how they see me
And so do we compromise our happiness for security or hope
that this fear is not nearly as strong as our hearts
But I would rather shape my soul than furnish it
And I'm tired of waking up and worrying if someone else is talking about me
and all the things that I've done wrong
I know that I'm worth more than how they see me
