Are you right about everything

It's all the maps that we have mistaken for the world

Sharp pieces of science that cut into our skin

Are they right about everything

Are you tired

Are you right

But I would rather shape my soul than furnish it

And I'm tired of waking up and worrying if someone else is talking about me

and all the things that I've done wrong

I know that I'm worth more than how they see me

And so do we compromise our happiness for security or hope

that this fear is not nearly as strong as our hearts

But I would rather shape my soul than furnish it

And I'm tired of waking up and worrying if someone else is talking about me

and all the things that I've done wrong

I know that I'm worth more than how they see me
