[Verse 1] I wore the smile Like borrowed skin Kept my hands clean But my head was in The back row The quiet line Where they teach you How to fit in time conformity only fits if it feels worth it I learned that fast On a locked-up heart [Pre-Chorus] Say the word I’ll fold in half Say be good I’ll do the math The room leans in I feel the weight A small white mask A gilded cage [Chorus] conformity only fits if it feels worth it (only fits, only fits) control is not a type of currency (not for me, not for me) conformity only fits if it feels worth it (only fits, only fits) control is not a type of currency I’d rather bleed than buy a crown [Verse 2] I watched them grin With perfect teeth Trade their fear For a place to breathe I tried that on Like a Sunday suit It sat too tight It split right through control is not a type of currency I spit that out Like poisoned gold And every yes Left me colder Every nod Made me feel older [Pre-Chorus] Say the word I’ll fold in half Say be good I’ll do the math The room leans in I feel the weight A small white mask A gilded cage [Chorus] conformity only fits if it feels worth it (only fits, only fits) control is not a type of currency (not for me, not for me) conformity only fits if it feels worth it (only fits, only fits) control is not a type of currency I’d rather bleed than buy a crown [Bridge] If I break, let it show If I fall, let it go I’m not built for a throne Made of everybody’s no Lord in the mirror Tell me who’s that face? Same scared kid With a sharper trace [Final Chorus] conformity only fits if it feels worth it (only fits, only fits) control is not a type of currency (not for me, not for me) conformity only fits if it feels worth it (only fits, only fits) control is not a type of currency I’d rather be real than wear that crown
