The Great Impersonator

Halsey

Compositor: Halsey / Stuart Price

No one has to know
I could always hide
But sometimes it might get to me
The things and all their minds
Like: They don't know I'm lonely
And: They don't know I'm kin
Or scared that I can't hack it with the current paradigm

Every single line
Every single rhyme
Every single truth I sing
Once started as a lie
I promise that I'm fine
But then I redesign
And put myself together like some little Frankenstein

Ah-ah
Does a story die with its narrator?
Ah-ah
Surely it's forgotten soon or later
Ah-ah
Hope they spell my name right in the paper
Ah-ah
In here lies the great impersonator

Mm-mm

I'm lying in a car crash
In a pile of broken glass
It's funny how it looks like glitter from the overpass
I'm in a pick-up truck, the door is stuck
I'm sinking in the water and the girl inside is waving
But the people just applaud her

This is a cry for help, callin' for assistance
But you can't tell I need it when you’re watchin' from a distance

Ah-ah
Does a story die with its narrator?
Ah-ah
Surely it's forgotten soon or later
Ah-ah
Hope they spell my name right in the paper
Ah-ah
In here lies the great impersonator
