about

One of my most intimate and honest songs, this one takes a humorous stab at what it's like to be a performer.

lyrics

i used to try to impress people with how "enlightened" i was
now i try to impress people with how honest i am
one day i hope to not try to impress people at all
by the way, i hope you like this song

i'd like to say i'm sorry to everyone affected by me not being who i really am--it's not my fault, you see, i was blinded by the thought of who i had to be.
had to hide 'cause the real me was small and scared of being powerless or powerful or anything with
consequences

god, i'm really laying it all out there right now, aren't i?
or maybe i'm just laying it all down

i'd like to try not hiding now
right now
