I got the feeling that they're onto me
I'm caught between the shadows and the urge to breathe in
I'm so erratic, I'm static or on a roll
I was stuck in a hole, or flying out of control, yeah

I can't stand it, that you believe in me
I can't face it, the lie you wanna feed
Don't bring your light near me
'Cause I'm afraid of what you'll see

If I get the word out
Then I might burn out
So don't bring your light near me
'Cause I'm afraid of what you'll see

I think there's something wrong with me
I'm not what you imagine but you won't believe that
I'm in a panic, I'm planning it as I go
I could try to explain, but you won't see me the same

I can't stand it, that you believe in me
I can't face it, the lie you wanna feed
Don't bring your light near me
'Cause I'm afraid of what you'll see

If I get the word out
Then I might burn out
So don't bring your light near me
'Cause I'm afraid of what you'll see
