We pretend to be brave, virtuous and empathetic in front of people and on social media. But would this actually be how we behave when no one is watching and there is no validation attached?

lyrics

People they continue to baffle me
It feels like we're back to where we started this

Learning to
Paralyze the pain
Living in distorted frames
Repair the loss selfishly again

If I could show guilt inside me frozen now
Voices they hold me captive eternally

Both my hands are tied behind my back
To set me free
I'm tired of facing choices all the time

Every pretty word can you really tell
If it's me
Is this how I'm feeling all the time

(Stay within)
Stay within what feels good.

Paralyze the pain
living in distorted frames
Repair the loss selfishly again

Paralyze the pain
Living in distorted frames
The voice of empathy has been evading me
I know I'll seek it out

I have participated in the crime
I'm responsible for
All that is wrong inside of my mind
Rethink your facts
