Lyrics
TRUSTING MY CODE
1st Verse
Wish it would stop
This voice inside me
Nagging me constantly
I’m wasting my days
Fear and doubt
Plague me frequently
All this anxiety
I try to escape
Pre-Bridge
For a while
I let my feelings go
Oh that joy
Wish it would last but I know
CHORUS
Trusting my code to live for myself
Can’t live my life pleasing everyone else
Trusting my code I made on my own
Can’t live in fear of being alone
2nd Verse
Discovered a bit of comfort
In helping out other hearts
Helpin me uphold the social code
Kind of like I’m doing my part
Life would be much simpler
If that was all I would need
But I’m cursed with ambition
And only moments of peace
But I smile
In those hours of relief
Please don’t go
Cuz now I’m back to my fears
CHORUS
Trusting my code to live for myself
Can’t live my life pleasing everyone else
Trusting my code I made on my own
Can’t live in fear of being alone
So I’m a saint when I live by other people’s plans
But I’m a sinner if I can’t
