"Repeat The Phrase" lyrics
(The Gaslight District Song)
In my heart, I know there's nothing really wrong with who I am
But I've got to pretend
I'm just like them
Is a phrase that I've rehearsed in an attempt to convince myself that I am not the worst thing that ever happened
They don't know the foot steps
They hear tapping
Are of the monster
They claim is cursed
I hear them clapping
I don't know what I'm doing
My sanity's always one movement from falling
They say freedom rings
But it isn't calling
When they're dooming
And glooming
Their "Death to the human!"
I find myself stalling
I may look like a beast
But deep underneath
I'm just melancholy
And in my heart, I know there's nothing really wrong with who I am
But I've got to pretend
I'm just like them
Repeat the phrase
There's nothing wrong
The same nothing that I know
Would understand
It's funny because my achievements
They just make me question my worth
Not feeling myself
Nor like anyone else
Somebody, please
Help me believe
Lead me into delusion
That I'm not in hell
Pray it's all in my mind
This land of confusion
It doesn't sit right
Hard to see beyond the gaslight
And in my heart, I know there's nothing really wrong with who I am
But I've got to pretend
I'm just like them
Repeat the phrase
There's nothing wrong
The same nothing that I know
Would understand
I'm not what they say
And I know it
I'm only human
But I can't show it
If you've made a decision but find out you're not killing
A villain
Tell me then: would you find that your hands are still willing?
And in my heart, I know there's nothing really wrong with who I am
But I've got to pretend
I'm just like them
Repeat the phrase
There's nothing wrong
The same nothing that I know
Would understand
Yeah
I know nobody's gonna understand
But I've got to pretend
I'm just like them
Is a phrase that I've rehearsed in an attempt to convince myself that I am not the worst thing that ever happened
They don't know the foot steps
They hear tapping
Are of the monster
They claim is cursed
I hear them clapping
I don't know what I'm doing
My sanity's always one movement from falling
They say freedom rings
But it isn't calling
When they're dooming
And glooming
Their "Death to the human!"
I find myself stalling
I may look like a beast
But deep underneath
I'm just melancholy
And in my heart, I know there's nothing really wrong with who I am
But I've got to pretend
I'm just like them
Repeat the phrase
There's nothing wrong
The same nothing that I know
Would understand
It's funny because my achievements
They just make me question my worth
Not feeling myself
Nor like anyone else
Somebody, please
Help me believe
Lead me into delusion
That I'm not in hell
Pray it's all in my mind
This land of confusion
It doesn't sit right
Hard to see beyond the gaslight
And in my heart, I know there's nothing really wrong with who I am
But I've got to pretend
I'm just like them
Repeat the phrase
There's nothing wrong
The same nothing that I know
Would understand
I'm not what they say
And I know it
I'm only human
But I can't show it
If you've made a decision but find out you're not killing

Tell me then: would you find that your hands are still willing?
And in my heart, I know there's nothing really wrong with who I am
But I've got to pretend
I'm just like them
Repeat the phrase
There's nothing wrong
The same nothing that I know
Would understand
Yeah
I know nobody's gonna understand
