[Verse 1]
Approach the territory, approach in envy
I'm counting on my hands and talking quietly
This is the sense I've come to know, forever wanting
Forever brings a feeling of longing
[Chorus]
I'm not half the man that you expect me to be
A portrait of society that's bred to feed
[Verse 1]
The lonely have a code in words unspoken
The hungry have an ego
We're broken
[Chorus]
I'm not half the man that you expect me to be
A portrait of society that's bred to feed
(Hey, hey)
On each and every little insecurity
(And your anxieties, hey)
On each and every one of your anxieties
[Bridge]
Be careful of how much you give away
You make it easy to manipulate
If all you know, is all you know I know
It's all a show, a twisted play
Be careful of how much that you give away
You make it easy to manipulate
If all I know, is all I know you know
It's all a show, a twisted play, so
Can you break the cycle?
[Chorus]
I'm not half the man that you expect me to be
A portrait of society that's bred to feed
(Hey, hey)
On each and every little insecurity
(And your anxieties, hey)
On each and every one of your anxieties
