lyrics

Have you ever felt the strain of being outside
Have you ever felt the strain of being nice
Like an itchy feeling from nowhere
You are afraid all the time

To wish to vanish away from the masses
To try to take in the crowds
It feels too much when you try to breathe through
Too many faces to count

I remember a time when crowds were fine
I’d live among them and I’d feel all right
Now most tell that I work the wrong way
Don’t know when I started being afraid

To wish to vanish away from the masses
To try to take in the crowds
It feels too much when you try to breathe through
Too many faces to count

I thought it would be ok if I vanished from here but they say no
It’s a coward’s choice
It might be one of these monsters, to battle, and win
And then no more asphyxia, no more weird things
So I will stand up, like years ago
And I’ll say it all out loud
I’m not chained to this phobia
So I will be, just be

Have you ever felt the strain of being outside
Have you ever felt the strain of being nice
Like an itchy feeling from nowhere
You are afraid all the time

To wish to vanish away from the masses
To try to take in the crowds
It feels too much when you try to breathe through
Too many faces to count
