Below, you will find the lyrics for The Anonymous Ones by SZA.
Ever look at all the people
Seem to know exactly how to be?
How to be, how to be now, how to be
You think they don't need piles
Of prescriptions to function naturally?
Functioning natural
Take a look and you might just catch it
Stay a minute more
Minute more, minute more now, minute more
There's a little moment
After the sunny smile
That eyes fall to the floor
To the floor, to the floor now, to the floor
And then truth starts peeking through
They don't lie like me and you
They can fake a smile too
The anonymous ones
Never let you see the hate they carry
They carry, they carry, they carry
All those anonymous ones
Never name the quiet pain they bury
They bury, they bury, they bury
Keep on keeping secrets that
They think they have to hide
What if everybody's secret
Is they have that secret side?
And to know, to know we're not alone
Is all we're hoping for
I don't wanna be anonymous
I ain't gotta be anonymous
I don't wanna be anonymous anymore
Spot the girl who stays in motion
Spins so fast so she won't fall
(World's spinning so fast
Spinning so fast)
She's built a wall of her achievements
To keep out the question
Without it is she worth anything at all?
And truth starts peeking through
They don't lie like me and you
They can fake a smile too
The anonymous ones
Never let you see the hate they carry
They carry, they carry, they carry
All those anonymous ones
Never name the quiet pain they bury
They bury, they bury, they bury
I don't wanna be anonymous
I ain't gotta be anonymous
I don't wanna be anonymous anymore
The parts we can't tell, we carry them well
But that doesn't mean
They're not heavy
The parts we can't tell, we carry them well
But that doesn't mean
They're not heavy
The parts we can't tell, we carry them well
But that doesn't mean
They're not heavy, heavy
The anonymous ones
Never let you see the hate they carry
They carry, they carry, they carry
All the anonymous ones
Never name the quiet pain they bury
Keep on keeping secrets that
They think they have to hide
What if everybody's secret
Is they have that secret side?
And to know, to know we're not alone
Is all we're hoping for
I don't wanna be anonymous
I ain't gotta be anonymous
I don't wanna be anonymous anymore
