Identity X by Tan Ping Wei Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We sit and stare
Eyes glued onto the big screens
We laugh and talk
To sound like everyone else
And we know we’re wasting our time away
Killing time as we cry about life
But the world’s exploding right before our own eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
Flashing lights on the TV
Reflections that don’t look like me
And they don’t care about what they see
As long as we're perfect bodies
[Chorus]
We’ll never be good enough
Constantly changing ourselves
Pearl white teeth and rosy cheeks
In our eyes a desire to be
Something that never exists
But we do it anyways
They said it's all in our heads
Identity X
(Identity X)
(Identity X)
[Verse 2]
We’re the future (Future)
But our future lies in the moon
The web and all its lies (All its lies)
We’re someone who we don’t know
And we know that we’re greater than that
But we’re cursed with all that thought
We care so much we end up hating our blood
[Pre-Chorus]
Flashing lights on the TV
Reflections that don’t look like me
And they don’t care about what they see
As long as we're perfect bodies
[Chorus]
We’ll never be good enough
Constantly changing ourselves
Pearl white teeth and rosy cheeks
In our eyes a desire to be
Something that never exists
But we do it anyways
They said it's all in our heads
Identity X
(Identity X)
(Identity X)
[Bridge]
We're worth more than your papers (papers~)
Red ink is nothing new to us
We swore we'd leave this paper town (town~)
Don't kiss up when you need us
[Chorus]
We’ll never be good enough
Constantly changing ourselves
Pearl white teeth and rosy cheeks
In our eyes a desire to be
Something that never exists
But we do it anyways
They said it's all in our heads
Identity X
(Identity X)
(Identity X)
(Identity X)
We sit and stare
Eyes glued onto the big screens
We laugh and talk
To sound like everyone else
And we know we’re wasting our time away
Killing time as we cry about life
But the world’s exploding right before our own eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
Flashing lights on the TV
Reflections that don’t look like me
And they don’t care about what they see
As long as we're perfect bodies
[Chorus]
We’ll never be good enough
Constantly changing ourselves
Pearl white teeth and rosy cheeks
In our eyes a desire to be
Something that never exists
But we do it anyways
They said it's all in our heads
Identity X
(Identity X)
(Identity X)
[Verse 2]
We’re the future (Future)
But our future lies in the moon
The web and all its lies (All its lies)
We’re someone who we don’t know

In our eyes a desire to be
Something that never exists
