About this track

The whole track is a reminder that honesty doesn’t have to be pretty, and growth doesn’t erase the wreckage you grew out of. It’s loud, muddy, and absolutely done apologizing.

The song is built like a confession delivered through gritted teeth… a refusal to wear anyone else’s version of you, pick a side, or be digestible. Waking up every day already tired of expectation, tired of labels, tired of being useful to anybody else’s story.

Lyrics

When I wake up
I put on no labels
I don't want to be anybody
When I wake up
I put on no labels
I don't want to need anybody

In this mess
I just want to play my
Role in the sadness
In this mess
In this mess
In this mess

In this mess

So if I swallow my pride
And roll in the mud
Things will be better
Than they were
All that I've built
All I've become
I'm still as damaged as I was

Don't let the climb
Get the story twisted

Don't let the climb
Get the story twisted

Keep your head down
Don't wear a label
Don't want to feed anybody
Keep your thoughts
Politically sterile
Don't want to offend
Anybody

In my mess
I just want to play my
Role in the sadness
In my mess
I just want to play my
Role in the sadness

In my mess
In my mess
In my mess
So if I swallow my pride
And roll in the mud
Things will be better
Than they were
All that I've built
All I've become
I'm still as damaged as I was

Don't let the climb
Get the story twisted

Don't let the climb
Get the story twisted

Shut the fuck up
It's my mess
I just want to play my
Role in the sadness

Shut the fuck up
It's my mess
I just want to play my
Role in the sadness

Shut the fuck up
It's my mess
I just want to play my
Role in the sadness


Shut the fuck up
It's my mess
I just want to play my
Role in the sadness

When I wake up
I put on no labels

When I wake up
I put on no labels

When I wake up
on labels
I don't want to be anybody
When I wake up
I put on no labels
I don't want need anybody

Shut the fuck up

Shut the fuck up

Shut the fuck up
