NO ONE’S IN THE ROOM - Jessie Reyez

Lyrics by：Jessie Reyez/Dernst Emile II

Composed by：Jessie Reyez/Dernst Emile II

I'd go to church every Sunday

But teenage love still took my virgin skin

And the night after my first time I cried 'cause I

Thought Heaven wouldn't let me in

Meanwhile the priest has got a boyfriend

And lots of teachers smoke w**d after school

When you're young they try to keep you in the cages but

Most of them don't follow their own rules

Spend your whole life being graded

Being told you're not enough

Being told go find the one and sit and wait for death to come

But I don't wanna

I need to talk to God there's things I just don't understand

Like who am I when no one's in the room

Who am I when no one's in the room

Does the voice in my head that talks me off the ledge belong to me

Or does it come from the clouds

Who am I when no one's in the room

Hmm

Go to school and get a good job

Just to work your life away and pay your debts

And even those who live their dreams out

Cry 'cause all that glitters ain't what you expect

Sometimes I don't want to sing no more

Slit my throat and take my music back from evil men

They can put my body in the ocean

So I can die wearin' a smile and maybe find peace again

Spend my whole life being graded

Being told I'm not enough

Being told go find the one and sit and wait for death to come

But I don't wanna

I need to talk to God there's things I just don't understand

Like who am I when no one's in the room

Who am I when no one's in the room

Does the voice in my head that talks me off the ledge belong to me

Or does it come from the clouds

Who am I when no one's in the room

Vices only pacify for the moment

Vices that they made to hold our pain

Vices only pacify for the moment

Vices that they made to hold our pain

Spend your whole life being graded

Being told you're not enough

Being told go find the one and sit and wait for death to come

But I don't wanna

I need to talk to God there's things I just don't understand

Like who am I when no one's in the room

Who am I when no one's in the room

Does the voice in my head that talks me off the ledge belong to me

Or does it come from the clouds

Who am I when no one's in the room

Who am I when no one's in the room
