lyrics

I pop out my head then run and hide.
Where I'm alone. Where I'm alone.
Pass up nights with friends to stay inside.
My room I roam. My room I roam.

'Cause I don't like to show my face around.
'Cause I'm afraid I'll let some people down.

Cut myself off from my family.
Avoid the phone. Avoid the phone.
Frightened by the things that they might see.
I can't go home. I can't go home.

'Cause I don't like to show my face around.
'Cause I'm afraid I'll let some people down.
So, I just crawl back in my world of sound.
I'm safe in sound.

When I'm forced to go outside I may even look you in the eye
(I've taken time and learned to play the role).
You'll probably think that I'm okay. As an actor, I'm Olivier.
Still, inside the monster's taking hold.

Drag myself onstage and face my fear
that I have no clothes. I have no clothes.
Sometimes I pretend that you're not here.
My eyes are closed. My eyes are closed.

'Cause I don't like to show my face around.
'Cause I'm afraid I'll let you people down.
So, I just crawl back in my world of sound.
I'm safe in sound.

I'm safe in sound.
