In my head

Verse 1 I stay inside where nothing is asked of me. The walls don’t look too closely, they don’t mind if I fade. I tell myself I’m safer if no one knows I’m here. Pre-Chorus I move through rooms practicing how to be alone. Every thought stays quiet when I keep the door closed. ⸻ Chorus It’s all in my head — at least that’s what I say. I live just behind my eyes, where nothing can touch me. If I don’t look back too long, I can stay in my head. ⸻ Verse 2 Then I step out into daylight, and the world looks back at me. Pre-Chorus I forget that I exist until I’m in someone’s view. I forget I have a shape until it’s reflected back to me too. ⸻ Chorus It’s all in my head — or so I pretend. But the moment I’m seen, I don’t know where I end. I try to stay invisible, try to keep what’s left unread. But I feel myself sharpen outside of my head. ⸻ Bridge Maybe being unseen is just another version of hurting. I don’t know if I’m fragile or finally aware. I just know I feel real when someone’s there to see it. ⸻ Final Chorus (quieter) It’s all in my head — If I stay there long enough, Maybe I’ll disappear the way I learned to.
