"Seoul" lyrics

I'm scared but I can't move
There's a better place but I can't go
I don't want to cover up and I don't want to talk too much
It makes me fucking sick
That I used to feel so insecure about my skin tone
Man I would turn so brown in the summer south

Can you figure out
How to get rid of the wish to be someone else?

You gotta light it up
Gotta burn it down
I will find my peace where it's not allowed

I was faking
I tried to mimic them
Just an exaggerating, tragic copy of a white kid
How can I be a white kid?
What a strange way to think about it

You gotta light it up
Gotta burn it down
I will find my peace where it's not allowed
And I know it's a lot and it's heavy on your shoulders
And I feel the same way too
We both spent our youth confused

Do you realize how it shifted
It's a power not a weakness
You should take it back, claim it and reuse it
Can you figure out
How to get rid of the wish to be someone else

You gotta light it up
Gotta burn it down
I will find my peace where it's not allowed
And I know it's a lot and it's heavy on your shoulders
And I feel the same way too
We both spent our youth confused
