[Verse 1]
Oh I can't get out
Invisible handcuffs locked on me
Been praying for my period all week
And relief that I just can't see
I question everything
My focus, my figure, my sexuality
And how much it matters or why it would mean anything
I can't keep it together
I've been better
I've been thinking about it every night
[Chorus]
I'm trying, I am
I'm trying, I am
Trying to hide from my mind, I am
Trying all the time, I am
Trying to hide from my mind, I am
Trying trying
Why am I
[Verse 2
I can't get out
There's no flawless education just a stupid degree
The feeling of growing so far from myself
I can't reach, I can't reach, I can't reach
So i brush it off, cause I want it bad
And there's no dusting up
When you want like that, here's a ship
There's a wreck, better keep yourself in check cause
All these loaded questions gonna eat you alive
[Chorus]
I'm trying, I am
I'm trying, I am
Trying to hide from my mind, I am
Trying all the time, I am
Trying to hide from my mind, I am
Trying, trying
Why am I...?
[Breakdown]
If it counts for anything
I didn't want to
I'm just looking for clarity
To help me get through
If you're set in your ways
What can I do, Ease up
So that I can break it down for you can't
Feed a beast you
Leave unleashed it'll
Come right back to you
I'm trying
[Outro]
Trying to hide from my mind, I am
Trying all the time, I am
Trying to hide from my mind, I am
Trying, trying
Why am I...?
Why am I?
Why why?
Why am I?
