lyrics

From head to toe
I’m dreading the shame,
the insecurities,
the nagging of my brain

Look side to side
When crossing the road
Cause someone could be watching
And I wouldn’t even know

Who saw me?
Was I perceived? Remembered?
How well was I received?

Oh god,
What caught me?
Was it my gabbing trap?
Should I now snap?
Or beg for them to tear me up?

A po- po- polaroid,
Poster boy’s photograph
Dispense and watch the image fade
From nothing to the lens’ craft

A po- po- polaroid
spits me out one by one
Just as the ocean tides will phase
Emotions flip and come crashing to the front

I desperately need company
To leave and avoid seeing me
Leave no trace, no captive face
To know just who I used to be

Occasion beckons,
asks for my past
I know it isn’t
mocking me, but will I last

These conversations
Should not exist
They snatch my wits away…
I guess I’ll plead cease and desist

It’s starting
They want a show
So I’ll show them the things I don’t know

Just wait,
No, stop me
Someone please take this lead
Take it from me
To prove this limelight’s even real

A po- po- polaroid
Clinging to eras gone
My face, my hair, my clothes, my name,
How now I’ve got it all wrong

A po- po- polaroid
Thoughts that were never said
Unspoken words all taunting me
Despite that they were born—
surely— in my head

I desperately need company
to prove me wrong, but then they’ll see
who I am, a fraud, a sham—
This life-shaped form I’m used to being
