[Chorus female vocals] I'm acting like a theater kid I die when I'm feeling bliss Cry when I'm feeling it Deep inside I'm losing it Everything is counterfeit I lie, I smile, laugh a bit This is what it's like In the mind of a misfit Black out (out) Drown out (out) Have a mental breakdown (down) Where is my safe space? My room under the staircase? (oh) I want to curl up and hide (hide) I don't wanna go outside (no) It's scary and crazy Not for me [Machine Shop Verse Clear Male Vocals Rap] Yeah… I’ve been living in a broken frame, Tryna paint my pain in a picture that nobody wants to hang. Every memory’s a landmine, stepping where I stand— It’s like my shadow’s got a shadow and it’s reaching for my hands. I hear the whispers in the hallway, Telling me I’m not okay. I bury all my trauma like the bodies in a crawl space. I’m sick of being told to “just breathe,” like that’s enough— When the world is on my shoulders and my skin is not that tough. I’m the villain in my story, The glitch in the machine. Try to clean me up but I bleed right through the screen. So I hide behind a hoodie and a voice that isn’t mine, But Machine Shop’s the only place I ever draw the line. [Chorus female vocals] I'm acting like a theater kid I die when I'm feeling bliss Cry when I'm feeling it Deep inside I'm losing it Everything is counterfeit I lie, I smile, laugh a bit This is what it's like In the mind of a misfit Black out (out) Drown out (out) Have a mental breakdown (down) Where is my safe space? My room under the staircase? (ohhh) They act as if I'm Misplaced (misplaced) Well fuck you I know I'm deranged I'm not normal, it's hard to maintain [Machine Shop Verse Male Vocals Rap] I’m drowning in a room full of people who don’t see me, Screaming with a smile like, “Yo, I’m fine,” but I’m bleeding. Every thought is like a hammer to my self-esteem— Breaking all the promises I swore I’d keep. I ain’t perfect, never claimed it, But damn I’m tired of feeling nameless. Every day I chase a purpose that keeps going vacant— And I’m shaking, heart racing, Back against the basement wall. Another breakdown coming, I can feel the fall. They said “grow up,” I said “I’m trying,” But my demons keep multiplying. I’m a misfit in a world that keeps denying Every tear I cried alone In a place I called my home. But Machine Shop built a throne From all the chaos in my bones. --- [Chorus – Repeat female vocals] I'm acting like a theater kid I die when I'm feeling bliss Cry when I'm feeling it Deep inside I'm losing it Everything is counterfeit I lie, I smile, laugh a bit This is what it's like In the mind of a misfit Black out (out) Drown out (out) Have a mental breakdown (down) Where is my safe space? My room under the staircase? (ohhh) They act as if I'm Misplaced (misplaced) Well fuck you I know I'm deranged I'm not normal, it's hard to maintain Why can't I find a place of my own And wrap myself in lace Call it home Like Narnia or wonderland Where i can escape somewhere not made by man but by fate Somewhere i can sleep in peace Where i can kinda die And have release A place where dreams don't harm Where i feel safe, in my arms I'm not a theater kid But I die inside when I get hit Cry so much when my chest splits Because Deep down im losing it Im counterfeit Like a coin you would barely miss I lie, I smile, laugh a bit This is what its like For a misfit (misfit) ohhh (misfit) (misfit) oh
