Why am I always afraid
I just don't know why
Is it cuz this bed I've made
Feels like a coffin in the sky
Floating over crowds alone
I never feel connected
This place doesn't seem like home
And I always get rejected
I may look human just like you
With two legs underneath
Two arms that don't know what to do
Wrapped round me like a sheath
A mouth that opens, words come out
Sometimes in a faint whisper
Other times I scream and shout
In the mirror at my sister
Two eyes that blink but do not see
A nose that does not smell
A feeling I'm not meant to be
And that this must be hell
If so then why is no one here
And I'm the only one
I feel my heart swollen with fear
And I just turn and run
Why am I always afraid
I can't figure why
Is it cuz this bed I've made's
My coffin in the sky

I feel my heart swollen with fear
And I just turn and run
Why am I always afraid
I can't figure why
