I am taken for
Someone else's time
Make another noise
Think you're doing well
Pauses in your speech
Talking in your sleep
Speak when you're awake
Watching as I crawl
Weigh your good goodbyes
Open up your ears
Hear the truth come in
After the critique
Hypocritically
Help when we are free
Blinded by the light
Watching as I crawl
Don't keep saying that you're going first
All I'm saying is that you're first in line
Hiding under stress
Trying to be your best
Retracing your steps
One step at a time
Counting your mistakes
Back to where you start
Focus on the ground
Watching as I crawl
Don't keep saying that you're going first
All I'm saying is that you're first in line
So don't keep saying that you're ready now
