The Fear
I've been scared go to outside
Afraid to socialize
What they show to the world, I know I'd rather hide
It's hard to decide the people to confide
My introspective guide tells me to leave it all behind
I don't like making friends, they always disappoint
You can't make a real connection, they seem to miss the point
They can't see their own reflections or listen to their voice
It's hard to give directions when you're under all the noise
The company I keep, it remains limited
I'm haunted by the ghosts of those who last visited
Connections and perceptions all getting shattered
I turn more uninterested and think it never mattered
All I get is projections about what I'd do, but it's a reflection of what they'd do to you
I'm always more hopeful with benefit of doubt, but if the roles were reversed, they'd be quick to kick me out
I guess my real advantage is I take ‘em on myself
I only take damage when I give to someone else
I'm terrified of you and how we're too comfortable
Yeah, we really grew, but I feel we're too vulnerable
I can love how we're close and that you're still a mystery, but we can't ignore what we have in our history
All those arguments and fights
They could've been avoided if we could reached the bottom line and never even soiled it
How can we sit here and hash it all out when the story always changes and no one backs down?
Could we ever get back to how we used to be?
Is there even something after everything I seen?
It always seems like from another point of view, people look at us and see someone getting screwed
You either want my wallet or I'm here for your body
I just want solace and to abandon everybody
I'm glad you can spread your wings and let yourself grow, but your friends been saying things that are hard to let go
They get a little comfy once I'm needed out the room
Speaking on my face
I'm not the one they assumed
You're paying out of pocket
Itemizing the needed basics
They're begging for your money for some fries on your day sick
When I bring it up, I don't mean you shouldn't see them
I've just had enough when you lack any freedom
Do we stand the test of time with all that's between us?
What if we're staying for the sake of convenience?
I'm scared that these times apart could set us off track
I'm afraid that if I leave you, you'll never want me back
I live a life wandering around without a plot
Why am I where I'm at when everyone is not?
I know it's politics, I know it's residence, I know it's due to choices, or another person's selfishness
It's hard for me to cheer and get a look at myself
I guess my biggest fear is being born as someone else.
