Mr Inside

[Intro: Tuka]
What would you do if I sang you a tune?
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
I will try not to sing out of key

[Pre-Verse 1: Tuka]
I am
Mr Inside, listen to my outcry
I wear my inner on my outside, yeah

[Verse 1: Tuka]
No shit, you're depressed again
All that's left is H20, a pack of Nurofen
And a very heavy head to mend
I rest in bed, scared to be with you alone
Used to be the best of friends, you're just somebody that I used to know
And as you lose control, I realise you never
Really had it, clearly damaged, every action nearly habited
First place, true, but before I let you
Have it let's inhabit our mutual birthday suit
Born March twentieth, my first name's Brendan
I reckon that's your birthday and your first name too
Question: what you doing when you're talking to yourself
As in, who is this an end to every thought you've ever felt
Before you send for help it gives you strength in times of weakness
Fighting off those tiny demons while you're way too blind to see them
Tryna show them signs of reason
Shine a light to find the meaning, it's kind of like the find the being
From all your hidden secrets, little misdemeanours
Even to that real deep shit, yo, I deal with the pain
When there's no one else to feel it
When you feel insane, questioning what real is
That fucker in your brain when your mind turns numb
That universal truth that you try to hide from

[Post-Verse 1: Tuka]
Mr Inside, listen to my outcry
Bout time you heard what I really sound like, yeah

[Chorus: Tuka]
S'all right
Go ahead and tell me all your problems
Everybody got some
I ain't goin' nowhere if you wanna holla
No shit talkin' isn't gonna solve one
S'all right
Go ahead and tell me all your problems
Everybody got some
I ain't goin' nowhere if you wanna holla
No shit talkin' isn't gonna solve one

[Post-Chorus: Tuka]
Said I think I'm going out of my head
Said I think I'm going out of my head
Said I think I'm going out of my head

[Pre-Verse 2: Solo]
Mr Inside showed up without invite
I wear my inner on my outside, right

[Verse 2: Solo]
No shit, there you go, so sick of your own company
Can't take it no more so you figure you'll run to me
And spill it out, all of your fears and doubts
That nobody up in here gonna wanna hear about
Now as your shouts get drowned out by this inner racket
Wreaking havoc, symptomatic, self-pity addict
In the worse way, true, but before I let you have it
Let's inhabit our mutual birthday suit
It goes born Jan. 13th, my first name's Nicholas
I'm thinking it's your birthday and your first name too
Ridiculous, isn't it, how we can wind up at the point
Of bickering with one another, staring out into the void
Being that you and I are just one conjoined being
We should be achieving at least a front that's unified
But I've been here the whole time
Through your eyes I've watched on and seen the way you're turning cold inside
Ever present like a mental poltergeist
Got me on speed dial but meanwhile, I hold the line
Always talking, never listening, always taking, never giving
For someone so full of shit you can be so very convincing
So let this be the instant the penny drops
And you walk out on this vicious monologue
It goes

[Post-Verse 2: Solo]
Mr Inside, listen to my outcry
Bout time you heard what I really sound like

[Chorus: Tuka]
S'all right
Go ahead and tell me all your problems
Everybody got some
I ain't goin' nowhere if you wanna holla
No shit talkin' isn't gonna solve one
S'all right
Go ahead and tell me all your problems
Everybody got some
I ain't goin' nowhere if you wanna holla
No shit talkin' isn't gonna solve one
