lyrics

I’m scared of everything

Take comfort in having the lights on when nobody else is home
As I sit and wonder what it would be like if I wasn’t worked up
All the time I could’ve spent working on my self improvement
All I did instead was get too worried about nothing

Find the switch that turns off everything
I wanna know how to reach that level
Find the lights that don’t ever come back on
I wanna know what it feels like to be
A sane individual
I never felt too typical
But it’s critical that I still stand up straight

Take cover when having the lights off and nobody else in sight
As I stay at home, all alone, I wanna go back into the dark
But I know that there’s a way to make me somehow feel okay
If I could find a way, if you could help me out please
Tell me something, please tell me anything

(Please don’t go)
Teach me how to think like you
Teach me how to speak like you
(Please don’t go)
Tell me what to do
Tell me how to shut everything off from here
(Please don’t go)
Teach me how to live like you
Teach me how to breathe like you
(Please don’t go)
Tell me what to do
Tell me how to shut everything off from here
