Who Am I
Spoo and Nick Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Exhaustion, creeping in concoctions of all this
Waking up, I feel fucking nauseous
Dreams been obnoxious, count up all the losses
Caution, repeated living thoughtless will never promise
Flawless, watch this colossus, lawless sense of solace eat at the knowledge I'm on this
I'm just being honest, to put it modest I have a problem, I think that maybe I'm an Alcoholic
I can justify a full demolish, take all the smallest parts I want to see and then I polish
Until it's spotless and then abolish what I just know is solid and somehow feeling Faultless in my godlessness

Well, well, wait a minute I think I might tell, hell, the me that's not committing to
Expel or motivate to quitting that's my bell, the fight is never ending
Ooo yeah, got me loving in the wrong damn place
With the wrong damn face
Ooo yeah got me running, but stuck in the same damn space
I can hear 'em coming for the rest of me, I can hear 'em picking up the pace, hey
Oh, yeah that's the promises
Made to the me that I can't find again (I find again)
I walked twelve steps in the wrong direction and then turned around to question how I Got to them
Oh, yeah that's the promised land
Made for the me that I know that I am
I walk twelve steps in the wrong direction and then turned around to question why it's Further, damn
I guess that that's just who I am
I guess that that's just who I've been
Guess that that's just who I am
I guess that that's just who I've been
I guess that that's just who I've been
I guess that that's just who I am
I might be a sucker for the silence
Though loneliness without being alone has turned itself in to a science
I'm just trying to break the habit I have learned through faulty theories that have grown Through this defiance
(Well okay then)
So, what then is the cost
How could I repay myself without repaving roads that not only I've destroyed in passing But have also masked to disappear to keep these other people off, I refuse to cross
Even after my apology to myself, I could never go and get what I lost
Wanted a remedy when what I really needed was a fucking solution
I vilify me to convince myself I'm good with the cause
Involved with the way I turn the part of me on
To believe in all of the fucking things I say that are wrong
But I make mistakes, I am just a human being after all
And yet it takes all of me to really know that at all, well
Ooo yeah, got me loving in the wrong damn place
With the wrong damn face
Ooo yeah got me running, but stuck in the same damn space
I can hear 'em coming for the rest of me, I can hear 'em picking up the pace, hey
Oh, yeah that's the promises
Made to the me that I can't find again (I find again)
I walked twelve steps in the wrong direction and then turned around to question how I Got to them
Oh, yeah that's the promised land
Made for the me that I know that I am
I walk twelve steps in the wrong direction and then turned around to question why it's Further, damn
I guess that that's just who I am
I guess that that's just who I've been
Guess that that's just who I am
I guess that that's just who I've been
I guess that that's just who I've been
I guess that that's just who I am

(I guess that that's just who I've been
I guess that that's just who I am)
