My skin is feverish I am delirious I'm not sure where my fantasy world ends and the real one begins I can't talk to anyone They might find out at some point That I'm not who I say I am I'm not okay Like they expect me to be. I don't think I can live among them after the truth has been set free After I'm exploited it won't be a relief. It won't set me free It will cage me in It won't let me leave Because once you're exposed, people will only see you. There's no hiding anymore

Exposed
My skin is feverish I am delirious I'm not sure where my fantasy world ends and the real one begins I can't talk to anyone They might find out at some point That I'm not who I say I am I'm not okay Like they expect me to be. I don't think I can live among them after the truth has been set free After I'm exploited it won't be a relief. It won't set me free It will cage me in It won't let me leave Because once you're exposed, people will only see you. There's no hiding anymore
