    You can tell me that I'm perfect
    'Cause you've never seen me hurting
    Only know what's on the surface
    Say I'm fine, but I'm not fine
    When the demon's in my head
    Sometimes I just won't leave my bed
    So if you're leavin', I'll understand, understand

    Yeah, it's been nonstop
    I swear this touring's been killing me, everybody watch
    And I don't like seeing cities and then leavin' them just to go to the next
    I think I've seen too many faces, but it's all in my head
    The nights I stayed up late just working put me in a position
    That people line up at the shows now and they finally listen
    Seeing every single one of you just truly makes me nervous
    'Cause when I see the checks, I just don't feel I deserve it
    So after shows, I go right back to the hotel and look myself in the mirror
    Asking what do I do this for and it all becomes clear
    That I don't know what I'm doing, sometimes it feels so confusing
    I see people wear my merch, but I still feel like I'm losing this upward battle
    Did a show in Seattle
    Panic attack on stage and I had no where to travel
    So I just carried on, did the show in tears until the curtains drawn
    I got anti suicide songs, but I still sing along
    They say depression's a journey
    The only difference is a journey has an end
    Implement some ways to cope, but it's still hard to circumvent
    Fans say they sick of sad songs, I'm just tryna vent
    Sayin' I'm just tryna vent

    I wish my anxiety had an off switch
    So I can just flip it and then never worry again
    Maybe then I'd be comfortable when I'm around all my friends
    I never feel wanted even though I probably am
    And I so sick of all these late nights, reminisce when I waste time
    Think about all of my better days back before I even wrote lines
    Revisit nostalgia just to try to finally feel something
    But all the stuff I did when I was younger just don't feel the same, yeah
    And my sadder days turn into like every day
    Started doing drugs just to try to finally numb the pain
    Yeah, but all that got me was addicted to prescriptions, want a way out
    Swear I'm always searching, but don't think I'll ever find it, yeah
    The voices in my head been telling me that I should quit this
    But I got some plaques up on the wall, I really did this
    Started from the bottom, now I'm touring, filling stages
    But the more success I'm gaining makes me hate it

    You can tell me that I'm perfect
    'Cause you've never seen me hurting
    Only know what's on the surface
    Say I'm fine, but I'm not fine
    When the demon's in my head
    Sometimes I just won't leave my bed
    So if you're leavin', I'll understand, understand
