Liz Sodetz - impostor

My best friend thinks i'm half straight
And I feel bad just tryna explain
And my family thinks i'm someone else
When I feel like I'm always hiding part of myself
Constantly perceived as quiet as hell
When I'm just uncomfortable with a temporary wall
Always playing different characters
When the role I really want is just to be myself
Grew up sheltered and religious
Stepping in and out of closets
Thought I was done with this shit
I'm an imposter in my hometown
Judged by preconceptions
Sick of misconception
Misconstrued and upset
Sick of worrying bout opinions
Being told how to live
And leading this double life
As part impostor
Society tries to make you fit a certain mold
Tries to tell you who you are to fit the norms and labels
Paints this vivid picture of what's socially acceptable
From who you like how you look
How you wear your damn clothes
All my life my identity's been assumed
Gotta act a certain way or else they wonder about you
People spend so much time just tryna fit in
Wish we'd emphasize how okay it is to be different
Grew up sheltered and religious
Stepping in and out of closets
Thought I was done with this shit
I'm an imposter in my hometown
Judged by preconceptions
Sick of misconception
Misconstrued and upset
Sick of worrying bout opinions
Being told how to live
And leading this double life
As part impostor
You ever think about all the versions of yourself
Or what goes on in your head vs What's in your heart
The only one who'll ever know who you truly are
Is the soul inside you so don't forget who you fucking are
