lyrics

Another meeting, I know they can tell I don't belong
This suit feels stiff and it looks somehow wrong
I talk but I don't really know what I mean
And my mouth is dry and my voice is weak
And the second someone doubts me I just completely fold
And all this seems to be outside of my control
I'll never be any good at this pretending

This is what impostor syndrome looks like
So much discomfort but you keep up the act
Because we all need a way to make money
And make believe that our lives are on track

Another meeting I know they can tell I don't belong
And to tell you the truth I think that they're wrong
When they say that we make a difference in a positive way
And I no longer agree with or mean what I say
The fire that I used to share with them has died
This is not the happy thing that makes me come alive
I'll never be any good at this pretending

And so as soon as this meeting is dismissed
I'm telling them the reasons why I know I've gotta quit
I'll say I want to be somewhere where everything feels right
I'm working out my new plan and it takes effect tonight
I'm gonna follow the dreams where they take me.
