Privacy

Soul like a spring feeding my mind

I’ve always been a well

But lately my dreams are running dry

I don’t recognize myself

Parting ways with the invisible crowd

I catered to when I was a child

But now they’re dead to me

Where is my identity?

Struck by a fallen tree, I feel

Something inside of me is healed

Watching my nature let itself collapse

And everybody clapped

When I put my feelings last

So forgive me if I don’t want you

Watching me choose myself

Privacy is all I have right now

Give me a sign, something to show

I haven’t missed my chance

I’m proud of the wisdom

Plucked from the pain

But while I was suffering

My friends got famous, and I

Told myself when I was a child

That I was a star but now

I’m burning out

What happens to me now?

Struck by a fallen tree, I feel

Something inside of me is healed

Watching my nature let itself collapse

And everybody clapped

When I put my feelings last

So forgive me if I don’t want you

Watching me choose myself

Privacy is all I have right now

Look away, look away

All I crave is privacy

Look away, look away from me

Look away, look away

Nothing’s sharp as my own gaze

Can’t escape, look away from me

So forgive me if I don’t want you

Watching me choose myself, no

I don’t want you watching me lose myself

Privacy is all I have right now
