-----LYRICS-----
Hiding from my truth
What am I scared of? To lose?
Say I don’t care what you think
But man, I’m “Blurryface” too

And no one’s gonna save me baby
Fight or flight? The latter lately
I’ve been hiding in a shell
I’ve been feelin’ stuck as hell
How do you get out of your own jail cell?
Man I feel overwhelmed

The older that you get
The more you know, the mental debts
Lookin’ in the mirror
The voice chirpin in your ears

Walkin’ & talkin’
My thoughts are crazy
Can’t keep going there on the daily
I feel like breaking down
Man I’m just not myself
I feel like breaking down
Why can’t I just calm down?

It’s hard living
If you’re in your mind
It’s hard living
If your thoughts ain’t right

But I get up and say
I won’t give up today
I got a job to slay
I gotta get the fuck, outta my own way
Don’t beat yourself up man, it’ll okay
Maybe not today, but it’ll be okay

Taking off the mask
And accepting your past
You’re not a monster
Just because you said something whack

Hindsight, 20/20
And I spent a lot of money
On a lot of bullshit man
I was such a dummy

The voice inside my mind
Reminds me all the time
Makin me overthink
Playing tricks, trying to jinx

We ain’t on the same page
Runnin’ in the same race
Two horses man
Ones totally insane

Walkin’ & talkin’
My thoughts are crazy
Can’t keep going there on the daily
I feel like breaking down
Man I’m just not myself
I feel like breaking down
Damn, I feel so stressed out

It’s hard living
If your in your mind
It’s hard living
If your thoughts ain’t right

But I get up and say
I won’t give up today
I got a job to slay
I gotta get the fuck, outta my own way
Don’t beat yourself up man, it’ll okay
Maybe not today, but it’ll be okay
It’ll be okay
It’ll be okay
It’ll be okay
It’ll be okay

I used to be a fan, but after listening to this masterpiece, I'm a whole air-conditioner

[JulesJukes]

Nicky being a magician is something that we never knew we needed

[aaabehemoth]

Dude I love this song, is not the typical "just do it because you'll regret it". It went through the steps, because if you jump out there whitout knowing what to do then you'll fail, that's why you need to prepare until you are confident enough to do It. You can't change in just a second, it takes a while and a lot of dedication. Thank you Rare Americans for making such a good song

[Freshmentos]

The way Nicky got determined and went in their. Melted my heart 🖤

[Waff]

Finally I can connect Ryan and Dave to everything else in the lore. Not many bands have lore. I love connecting the dots and the songs are amazing as well.

[Awsomecraftero]

My jaw dropped when I saw Nicky, I fucking love this band! I'm going to your show in San Fran! Exited asf!

[MrSmileyDoesStuff]

this song could not of come at a better time in my life where I'm stressing about my own thoughts and feelings. Honestly perfect timing! this will honestly become a classic in my eyes!
thank you Rare Americans :)

Song of a Generation.
I talk to so many of my friends nowadays in our mid 20s just trying so hard to figure out how to make something of ourselves. Some of them just can't embrace the idea of working so hard that you spend 18 hour days working, 8 for the pay check, 2 travelling back and forth to it and 8 on the dreams. They always ask me why I do it, why I don't quit but it's just honestly to say when I die that I tried. That's all I want, and this song spoke to that part of me. Thank you!

[galaxyflamingo]

God this song resonated with me, especially the "You're not a monster just because you said something whack". I said some things earlier this year that I've made up for that I still regret saying. That line hit me hard. I love this song, amazing work all around. <3

[marceloresenasyvideos]

bro, this universe is evolving and expanding with the apparition of nicky, all things are connected and I'm feeling seeing a cartoon like Bojack Horseman but more melancholic an pensative

[Sage-jtnv]

Can't wait to vibe to this for days

[youngblood]

"I feel I'm breaking down."
(Man, I'm just not myself!)
"I feel I'm breaking down."
(Why can't I just calm down?!)
Those lyrics really hit me hard

[animatedkaijuice]

I love this band so much man. If I wasn't in the UK I would have loved to go and see a concert. This band has been like a stepping stone emerging from a running river leading me down a path of life of good morals and messages all with some banging beats to go with it.

[craisins]

Sitting on the back of a U-Haul, emptying out my house that I'm losing, and moving to a new city with a new job, I didn't realize how much I needed to hear this song today. I'm in my head wondering if I can make it at my new job if my family will be okay. I'm sitting here thinking of all the mistakes I made to get to this point. I needed this song today.

[davidlz]

I love how each song is connected to the past ones.

[glassofwater]

I really need an animated series or something connecting the characters, seeing Nicky once again was awesome

[oddlyoz]

The animation is so smooth! This song gives me comforting vibes, especially since I've been in a bad head space recently. I've been having it rough, not on the surface but I was being rough to myself and I just lost my confidence. I can tell I'm going to play thing song on repeat for a while! 💓

[dragonslayer]

These references are too much for my heart. That dude reassuring Nicky is just adorable.

[ScarltShad]

Foreshadowing for brittle bones nicky 3. 2:19

[palerider]

I’ll say this
Brittle bones Nicky: Stand up for yourself and others
Ryan and Dave: redemption is always possible
Berlin: things will come and go?
Milk man: kill the rich
The moneyz: we leave things behind I guess and follow trends
Gas mask: never give up
Rick astley: never gonna let you down
