"Performer" lyrics

"Performer"

I feel alone
So put parts of my soul
In the wind in the hopes
Someone finally sees

I have doubts
So I filter them out
With the sound of applause
I am making a scene

Oh I get sick
So I build out of sticks
What I should build of stone
And it falls around me

Hey look I'm
Standing on
The table
Don't let me fall

Away
I just wanna be okay
I can be fine
I just need a little time
To cut myself in two
I'm lonely how are you

I'm full of holes
So I fill them with hopes
That I might leave behind
Someone better than me

I don't know why
I make jokes all the time
Like the day that I stop
Is the day you all leave

Look at me
I'm pretending to be
Someone else who might seem
Isn't scared of dying

Hey over here everyone
I might just throw it all away

I was gonna be ok
I swear in time
I was gonna be just fine
I'll show my scars to you no matter who you are
I'm lonely that is true
But show me someone who isn't
