I don't want you

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
