What I'm searching for
To tell it straight, I'm trying to build a wall
Walking by myself
Down avenues that reek of time to kill

If you see me, keep going
Be a pass-by waver
Build me up, bring me down
Just leave me out, you name-dropper
Stop trying to catch my eye
I see you good, you forced faker
Just make it easy
You're my enemy, you fast-talker

I can say I'll hope it will be worth what I give up
If I could stand up mean for the things that I believe
I can say I'll hope it will be worth what I give up
If I could stand up mean for the things that I believe

What am I here for?
I left my home to disappear is all
I'm here for myself
Not to know you, I don't need no one else

Fit in so good the hope is
That you cannot see me later
You don't know me
I am an introvert, an excavator
I'm duckin' out for now
A face in dodgy elevators
Creep up and suddenly
I found myself an innovator

I can say I'll hope it will be worth what I give up
If I could stand up mean for the things that I believe
I can say I'll hope it will be worth what I give up
If I could stand up mean for the things that I believe

Change, change, change, change
I want to get up out of my skin
Tell you what, if I can shake it
I'mma make this, something worth dreaming of

I can say I'll hope it will be worth what I give up
If I could stand up mean for the things that I believe
I can say I'll hope it will be worth what I give up
If I could stand up mean for the things that I believe

I can say I'll hope it will be worth what I give up
If I could stand up mean for the things that I believe
I can say I'll hope it will be worth what I give up
If I could stand up mean for the things that I believe

I can say I'll hope it will be worth what I give up
If I could stand up mean for the things that I believe
I can say I'll hope it will be worth what I give up
If I could stand up mean for the things that I believe

I can say I'll hope it will be worth what I give up
If I could stand up mean for the things that I believe
I can say I'll hope it will be worth what I give up
If I could stand up mean for the things that I believe

I agree this could easily be mistaken for a long lost Missing Persons song, because in fact Missing Persons and the singer Dale Bozzio was one of her great influences.  She really knocks it out of the park.  I can only wonder what else she could have come up with if she had become more famous.
