Tekst piosenki
[Verse 1]
I’d go to church every Sunday
But teenage love still took my virgin skin
And the night after my first time I cried, ’cause I
Thought Heaven wouldn’t let me in
Meanwhile the priest has got a boyfriend
And lots of teachers smoke weed after school
When you’re young, they try to keep you in the cages but
Most of them don’t follow their own rules
[Pre-Chorus]
Spend your whole life being graded
Being told you’re not enough
Being told go find the one and sit and wait for death to come
But I don’t wanna
I need to talk to God, there’s things I just don’t understand
[Chorus]
Like who am I when no one’s in the room?
Who am I when no one’s in the room?
Does the voice in my head, that talks me off the ledge, belong to me?
Or does it come from the clouds?
Who am I when no one’s in the room? (Hmm)
[Verse 2]
Go to school and get a good job
Just to work your life away and pay your debts
And even those who live their dreams out
Cry ’cause all that glitters ain’t what you expect
Sometimes I don’t want to sing no more
Slit my throat and take my music back from evil men
They can put my body in the ocean
So I can die wearin’ a smile and maybe find peace again
[Pre-Chorus]
Spend my whole life being graded
Being told I’m not enough
Being told go find the one and sit and wait for death to come
But I don’t wanna
I need to talk to God, there’s things I just don’t understand
[Chorus]
Like who am I when no one’s in the room?
Who am I when no one’s in the room?
Does the voice in my head, that talks me off the ledge, belong to me?
Or does it come from the clouds?
Who am I when no one’s in the room? (Hmm)
[Bridge]
Vices only pacify for the moment
Vices that they made to hold our pain
Vices only pacify for the moment
Vices that they made to hold our pain
[Pre-Chorus]
Spend your whole life being graded
Being told you’re not enough
Being told go find the one and sit and wait for death to come
But I don’t wanna
I need to talk to God, there’s things I just don’t understand
[Chorus]
Like who am I when no one’s in the room?
Who am I when no one’s in the room?
Does the voice in my head, that talks me off the ledge, belong to me?
Or does it come from the clouds?
Who am I when no one’s in the room?
[Outro]
Who am I when no one’s in the room?
