To look at me through the eyes of a stranger
I don't want you
To come to realize that I am stranger

Than a fish that never fries
Or an eye that never cries
Or people who swear up and down
That they have never lied
Regardless, insecurities that others may perceive
Are benign in the eyes of my friends

I don't want you
To see me flailing at my nervous habits
Each one taunting
Me for being unable to stab it

Digging holes inside my head
About what I should have said
Wshing I could find an answer
Or a little light to shed
Regardless, insecurities that others may perceive
Are benign in the eyes of my friends

I don't want you
To always know exactly what I feel
I need your help
To weather what the epicenter deals

The doubt is held at bay
But the surface rubs away
The sun is shining everywhere
But I can't find a ray
Regardless, insecurities that others may perceive
Are benign in the eyes of my friends
