[Intro]
Hi, for Dezi? (Yeah)
Thank you
Uh, yeah, it's, uh, Otsego Street
[Verse 1]
L.A.'s been okay
Been terrified, terrified of earthquakes
And they're calling me Mosaic
All sharp and shattered pieces
And I'm set in my ways
[Pre-Chorus]
But I'm second guessing chronically
Ifs and maybes
And if you want my honesty
I've been faking it
[Chorus]
When it all goes quiet
In this cage I'm in
Like a lions den
Fighting with a stranger in my head
'Cause I forgot how
How to love myself
How to self defend
Illusion to a stranger in my head
[Verse 2]
Damn, I think I'm jaded
'Cause I used to lovе
Being the life of thе party
But now I kinda hate it
I'm isolated
Do I come on too strong?
[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm second guessing, chronically
Ifs and maybes
And if you want my honesty
I've been faking it
[Chorus]
When it all goes quiet
In this cage I'm in
Like a lions den
Fighting with a stranger in my head
'Cause I forgot how
How to love myself
How to self defend
Illusion to a stranger in my head
[Bridge]
And it's telling me, telling me that I did too much
And it's telling me, telling me that I've said enough
And I'm giving in and I'm going numb
'Cause it's telling me that I do not deserve the love
Telling me, telling me I should take the punches
Telling me, telling me, stay down in the trenches
It keeps telling me, telling me, yelling at me
That I'm not enough, not enough, not enough
[Chorus]
When it all goes quiet
In this cage I'm in
Like the lions den
Fighting with a stranger in my head
'Cause I forgot how
How to love myself
Illusion to a stranger in my head
