Persona Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sometimes I wonder if you realise the way you come across
It’s kind of crazy
Wish you could be honest about your internal dialogue
It wouldn’t faze me

[Pre-Chorus]
You like the sound of your voice
And I like the sound of mine
Every day you’re suffering
But you say you’re doing fine
I love the stories you tell
But I can tell when you lie

[Chorus]
Don’t fucking choke on your ego when you see me coming
I know you’re performing, I know that you’re hurting
So you try to hide it when you see me coming
Don’t wanna confront it, I’m scared I’m annoying

[Post-Chorus]
You call mе your best friend to keep me at arm’s lеngth
I’d write you a letter, but you’d probably burn it
Deflect and then shower me in adoration
You think you’re so clever, I think you are too
You know I see you when you see me

[Verse 2]
I gotta say, I do respect the commitment to the bit
Now, that’s persona
We’re both under the influence of life imitating art
And we both know it

[Pre-Chorus]
You like the sound of your voice
And I like the sound of mine
I see your face in a film
And it makes me wanna cry
I love the stories you tell
But I can tell when you lie

[Chorus]
Don’t fucking choke on your ego when you see me coming
I know you’re performing, I know that you’re hurting
So you try to hide it when you see me coming
Don’t wanna confront it, I’m scared I’m annoying
You call me your best friend, I secretly love it

[Post-Chorus]
I find it frustrating
Sometimes I get triggered
And that’s probably ’cause you and I are alike, yeah
I think I’m so clever, you think I am too
I know you see me when I see you

[Outro]
When you see me
When I see you
When you see me
When I see you
