Delusional

I could've been famous, that's right

It's a matter of bad timing

I was born too late to blow up on YouTube

But too soon for the FYP

Got nothing in common with the kids swiping

Only spent a couple years buying CDs

If I had a stylist or a street team

Maybe if I went to Tisch

You would find me on your TV screen

I say all that but deep inside I know it's a lie

Looking at my piece of shit work ethic with a cynical eye

Bestowed with the gift of disappointing fans and critics alike

More discipline with the violin and I might've been

Disillusioned in a different life

Oooh, saddled with mental baggage

Convinced of my intellectual advantage

We can't all be in the ninetieth percentile

And that's what it means to be average

Guess I'm delusional

That I could ever be loved for me

Yes I'm delusional

And no I ain't talking 'bout family

Cuz the lie I told whoever

That I was put together

Is why it took forever to see

That I'm delusional

And that's the problem with me

Been living like I'm broken for so long

I really hope that it's true

Cause if that's a lie, and I'm actually fine

Then I think I'd owe you the truth

Overly choosy with the things I want

Fuck a dude on Hinge with a lame-ass prompt

Cause I'm looking for a copy paste of all the awful traits

Enabling my fake-ass con

Oooh, thought I could stay undamaged

Convinced that I had a dating advantage

The blackpills give me a five out of ten though

And that's what it means to be average

Guess I'm delusional

That I could ever be loved for me

Yes I'm delusional

And no I ain't talking 'bout family

Cuz the lie I told whoever

That I was put together

Is why it took forever to see

That I'm delusional

Check it out

I was never much good at the home economics

Sewed a costume for myself that wasn't so ergonomic

But then I try to take it off and it's stuck to my body

So it's now become a part of me, it's not just a hobby

If I take it off (if I take it off)

If I throw it out (if I throw it out)

I'mma wind up naked, looking kinda basic

I got no more clout (I got no more clout)

If I take it off (if I take it off)

If I throw it out (if I throw it out)

Guess I'm half afraid I'll be asked to explain

What this song's about (no)

Guess I'm delusional

That I could ever be loved for me

Yes I'm delusional

And no I ain't talking 'bout family

Cuz the lie I told whoever

That I was put together

Is why it took forever to see

That I'm delusional

And that's the problem with me
