Lyrics

I woke up famous in a language I dont speak
an everybody hated me in it
every headline got my face but I cant tell what its sayin
but they gone an painted me in it
all their letters loaded like a gun I never gripped
every word weavin crooked like they dragged my name through spit
Im watchin all these mouths movin like a monster I cant predict
readin out my sentence while Im stuck still tryna find the script

I woke up worshipped by the kind of crowd who only loves collapse
where theyll only hold the light just to admire where you cracked
some friends had that hunger like a mouth without a stomach
some friendships felt less like fun an more what theyre gettin from me
every game gotta a glitch in it, every song might of marked it
like they built a blunt to ruin an got bored before they spark it
Im surrounded by bloodsuckers that dont know my name from damage
whole room callin me immortal while they feedin on the carnage

I woke up iconic in a country I wasnt born in
but everybody knows my business
every street sign pointin somewhere I cant read
but I know they all take me where laughter is me
every glance gets passed around me like a note I wasnt given
all their grins look half bitten like they cant hold what they thinkin
but the room goes quiet like I walked in before they finish

I woke up famous in a language I dont speak
an everybody hated me in it
every headline got my face but I cant tell what its sayin
but they gone an painted me in it
all their letters loaded like a gun I never gripped
every word weavin crooked like they dragged my name through spit
Im watchin all these mouths movin like a monster I cant predict
readin out my sentence while Im stuck still tryna find the script

I woke up wanted in a place that didnt want me for the wrong reasons
like Im famous for the fallout of a block buster I aint been in
all their whispers feel hidden an their laughs taste pre positioned
an the punchline hit the table but Im doin the dishes
seems they all got one small secret an my self esteems how they spin it
the silence sound contagious an the arguments seem deliberate
Im sure they let me wear their joke just to watch me try interpret it
love isnt treadin lightly while your shadow is stuck with dirt on it

I woke up cravin in a town that tastes like filter tips an shame
where the mornin hits your throat before it even says your name
all the doorways got a witness with smoke cupped from the wind
I see ember glowin orange when they see me comin in
everybody knows my business like its a stain on their teeth
every stranger knows my love life like it came free with weed
just standin in the secondhand tryin not to breathe too deep
smokin through my sanity like it helps em get to sleep

I woke up famous in a language I dont speak
an everybody hated me in it
every headline got my face but I cant tell what its sayin
but they gone an painted me in it
all their letters loaded like a gun I never gripped
every word weavin crooked like they dragged my name through spit
Im watchin all these mouths movin like a monster I cant predict
readin out my sentence while Im stuck still tryna find the script

I woke up famous in a language I dont speak
an everybody hated me in it
every headline got my face but I cant tell what its sayin
but they gone an painted me in it
