Authenticity

[Chorus]
I've been seeking authenticity
I've been seeking it my whole life
I don't know if it's stupidity
That cuts me open like a knife
I never cared much for bravery
It's been used too many times
Forcing young boys into slavery
Teaching them to take a life

[Refrain]
But when I go to sleep
I don't sleep
I just lay awake
And ask what it will take

[Verse]
I don't know about integrity
I saw it tattooed on an arm
And if I'm speaking to you honestly
Naivety keeps me from harm
I'm not sure who I'm supposed to be
Nobody handed me a brief
Not sure the book that I'm supposed to read
I guess I landed on my feet

[Refrain]
But when I go to sleep
I don't sleep
I just lay awake
And ask what it will take

[Chorus]
I've been seeking authenticity
I've been seeking it my whole life
I don't know if it's stupidity
That cuts me open like a knife
I never cared much for bravery
It's been used too many times
Forcing young boys into slavery
Teaching them to take a life
