lyrics

Tell me why I gotta do this
Tell me why I gotta play a game
That I'm always losing
Whole thing seems stupid
I don't even want the prize
While my soul gets bruises
I would take your advice
But I don't wanna end up with your life
A suburban nightmare, your a carbon copy
And a vacant zombie

They tried to make me match the even background
They tried to manufacture me
They never could

I'm gonna stay in my own lane
I'm gonna stay in my own lane
And I don't care if you should choose
To do the same
Jealousy is a distraction
Brush it off with a passion
Cause you'll be in the same spot decades later
I'll be on a straight shot, trailblazing

Guess I'm gonna have to face it
I could never get along
With the crowd so basic
Won't stay complacent,
Wanna write so many songs
Wanna see so many places
If I could, I'd do exactly what I'm told
Mute my colors, take the safe route
I'd just suffer, rip the cage down

They tried to make me match the even background
They tried to manufacture me

I'm gonna stay in my own lane
I'm gonna stay in my own lane
And I don't care if you should choose
To do the same
Jealousy is a distraction
Brush it off with a passion
Cause you'll be in the same spot decades later
I'll be on a straight shot, trailblazing
