Can I have a peek, just for a second
To see if I'm the only one who's rotten and wretched
Hardened and deadened a thick husk surrounds me
A mask-like object attached to me so tightly
Nightly urges to tear it off
I restrain despite this because what if they scoff
If no one likes me, if they point and laugh
I know this all too well
Because it's happened in the past
From the outside I look dead inside
But I assure you that I am fine
Or maybe I'm not
Or maybe I'm not
From the outside I look dead inside
But I assure you that I am fine
Or maybe I'm not
Or maybe I'm not
Can you look behind my eyes
And see through my house of lies
Can you look behind my eyes
And see through my house of lies
Alien on my own planet
It's not just sad it's miserable
My back's against the wall
As the normal people come marching down the hall
I fall in line behind the droves of clones searching for homes
I'm alone
When all hope is lost I see a glimmer in your eye
And realize I'm not the only one wearing a disguise
From the outside I look dead inside
But I assure you that I am fine
Or maybe I'm not
Or maybe I'm not
From the outside I look dead inside
But I assure you that I am fine
Or maybe I'm not
Or maybe I'm not
A house of lies I hide behind
I find no one cares what's behind my eyes
Inside my mind
I'm not fine pretending to be human
But there's something human about that
Real connection, real affection
Can't take it
It's killing me, my midsection's sick
And I know I can't be the only one
You can be yourself
But that looks so far away
Requires bravery that I do not have
Stop looking at the past and take a leap
If I'm to seek other people like me
And I know it looks bleak
But I hope you can believe in me
Can you look behind my eyes
And see through my house of lies
Can you look behind my eyes
And see through my house of lies
