Have you ever seen an alien?
Do you want to?
Look over there, look
I'm right there

Hunched over
On the floor.
My eyes are bolted shut
Skin is red and raw

Ill. Silent. Cold
Uncomfortable wherever I go
My alien lungs cannot breathe your
Nasty air, theyre so sore

And you.
You are like the others that tried to help me.
Just throw me off the earth and stop my melting

You
Will never understand,
Your bones are strong and sturdy
I buckle at the thought of standing up
To your society.

Your society
Your society
Your society

And the only reason
You come to my aid
Is because I pretend I'm
Winning at these mind games
The one condition
On which I play
Is if it means that I'll be
Human someday, but

Oh
I'm an alien
I need you to save your energy
I can never win
I need you to take me anywhere
To a world that wasnt constructed
In a way that's so destructive
To a world that doesn't call me
Alien, and alienates me.
