Cover of the Book Lyrics by Seth Wisniewski

I Am Me

2017

(Verse 1 - Seth Wisniewski)
If I were skinny I would look a lot better
When I don’t wanna go out it’s not cause the weather
Or the reason that I’m always seen wearing a sweater
Not a thing that I can blame on the temperature
A lot of the time it's not even someone else
I can barely stand to look at myself
And to change my appearance I am trying
But it’s not something that I can fix overnight
Sure I am me, but what’s not to say
That others will be judging mе anyway
For the way that I'm shaped or the marks on my facе
Or how I move my mouth with these words that I say
And I keep trying to tell myself that no one really cares
About the things that you do or the things that you wear
But that just isn’t true, the stares burn right through
As people judge on like they’ve got nothing to do
(Chorus - WoodenHornets)
So insecure about the way that we look
People are always gonna judge the cover of the book
“It’s about what’s on the inside” is fed to us
But seems to not stick with us in the years we grow up
So insecure because everything is labeled
Wish people could make it a few pages through the fable
“It’s about what’s on the inside” is fed to us
But seems to not stick with us in the years we grow up
(Verse 2 - Seth Wisniewski)
I try not to make eye contact walking down the street
Then I don't see if anyone’s looking at me
Judging me ever so silently
But I’ve done it too, you see, that's the thing
We’re raised in a culture where judging is accepted
In even more places than Debit or Credit
From TV shows to threads up on Reddit
People hating themselves because someone else said it
What a world to be brought into
Then it’s questioned why people have self esteem issues
Misused are many platforms the youth has grown up on
Trying to sell morals but some still stuck up on
The irony that’s being fed to the nations
That we all stand together but I see all the hating
No wonder it’s not seen as misbehaving
When these judgmental ways are a human creation
(Chorus - WoodenHornets)
So insecure about the way that we look
People are always gonna judge the cover of the book
“It’s about what’s on the inside” is fed to us
But seems to not stick with us in the years we grow up
So insecure because everything is labeled
Wish people could make it a few pages through the fable
“It’s about what’s on the inside” is fed to us
But seems to not stick with us in the years we grow up
(Verse 3 - M.O.C.)
People meet me they say “Yo youse a thicc boi”
But they don’t see the me leave me sick boi
They see me, M.O.C and say what’s that obsession?
Mother of creation? No. Mormon Olive collection
It’s these accusations, why I make lyrics obscene
Instead of pop garbage for the average teen
That’s why I’m here. I’m for body positivity
But for a passion so strong, I don’t have any
I got spots on my arms and hair on my toes
It’s my own body but the marketing knows
More than me. Telling me that I’m between
And if I don’t pay them no one will sleep with me
Well enough we don’t need what the industry took
We can make it on our own as we move knight to rook
We all just need to find that someone who will look
A few pages past the cover of the book
(Chorus - WoodenHornets)
So insecure about the way that we look
People are always gonna judge the cover of the book
“It’s about what’s on the inside” is fed to us
But seems to not stick with us in the years we grow up
So insecure because everything is labeled
Wish people could make it a few pages through the fable
“It’s about what’s on the inside” is fed to us
But seems to not stick with us in the years we grow up
