lyrics

I’m afraid of my shadow
Afraid of what it thinks of me
I’m biting my tongue now
Choke it down till I fall asleep

I’m starting a fire
Just to watch something burn
She said, come a little closer
Watch me take what’s yours

My veins are ice cold, dear.
I think they need a little air.
Slice the doors wide open
Just to watch and see who cares

My eyes are so red now
I had too much but you had too much too
I don’t care what they think, love
Just as long as I don’t think of you.

I wish I was pretty
I wish I was just like you
I wish I could stand up straight
And you could fix my insides too

I wish I was pretty
I wish I was just like you
Wish I didn’t think so much
Turn off my head——
