Neurotica

I used to like walking in the summer sun, but now I watch you do it rrom behind my window. My blinds are halfway shut, afraid of shadows behind shadows Finally When it’s not so crowded I step out, covered and shrouded My nervous eyes are allways watching or maybe it’s the way that you’re walking Too close to me. Make sure my face is obscured by the hood of my jacket, the chattering around me causing a racket. They whisper They giggle What? I thought I heard my name I ask myself, why they’re playing games? I crawl deeper in my shell. [Refrain] It’s all the little things that make me overreact; the nuances of your expression that show me what I lack. It’s all the subtle things, the elusive gestures that make me believe you’re my greatest oppressor. I’m never good enough I’ll never be the best How can I reach the stars when I can never pass the test? [Verse 2] I feel like I’m too different Like I don’t belong. That’s why I stay away And hold my tongue. Don’t wanna say something wrong. But why do you judge me shun me, reject me? I just want you to accept me, pick my up and collect me. I’m like an outcast, with no one that respects me. The looks The stares The voices behind the sounds They all melt together as I try to push them down. [Refrain] It’s all the little things that make me overreact. The nuances of your expression that show me what I lack. It’s all the subtle things, the elusive gestures that make me believe you’re my greatest oppressor. I’m never good enough I’ll never be the best How can I reach the stars when I can never pass the test? [Outro] So, I hide away Solitaire is my solitude I watch from afar Your daily life seems so crude I stay in this open cage, too afraid to move.
