π€ Verse:
Oh my God, wish I was thin
Wish I was vain on more human being
I'm just like them
Stuck in the dirt
I am a victim of my own self-worth

And now I wanna take it back
B D
I wanna take it back

I wanna take it back

To when I was so dumb and so innocent

Ebm
π€ Verse 2:
Oh my God, wish I was black
Wish I had soul and my music attacked
I am so white, shine like the sun
Just like we've been counting down to the one

And now I wanna take it back

I wanna take it back

I wanna take it back

Painted in mud
Don't try for perfect it's never enough

I'm just hanging with my head down
I'm just hanging with my head down
I'm just hanging with my head down
I'm just hanging with my head down

Ebm
Oh my God, wish I was dead
Wish I could turn off the noise in my head
Oh my God, wish I could breathe
Not fair I want some monstrous screams
Oh my God, wish I was numb
The weight on my back didn't feel like a ton
Oh my God, wish I could pray
Believe in the words your religions all say
Oh my God, wish I could swim
'Cause I'm gonna drown in depression again
