Xeno

I hear you laughing at me with the echoes right behind me

I feel the air around me and your gaze upon my body

You look at me as if we are not the same

I try to run away like a bullet train

I turn around to find that there is nowhere I can hide

I wish I could reply but I don’t have the heart to try

I think I'm gonna cry but I keep pushing it inside

I stand there in the light as you dissect me with your eyes

What am I made of

That you’re afraid of?

Am I contagious?

I wanna wake up

It’s been a couple hours and the food is turning sour

Your voice is getting louder but you’re looking like a coward

You think that all I need is some clarity

You wanna try and put me in therapy

But don’t you think I've tried to sterilize my thoughts inside

I've prayed a million times and cried myself to sleep at night

But maybe you’re not right and we’re just different by design

‘Cause how can you decide who I can love and lay beside

What am I made of

That you’re afraid of?

Am I contagious?

I wanna wake up
