I Am An Avoidant
i am an avoidant
i avoid the eyes that stare
they make me feel like handcuffs to a chair
and I'm afraid of the face
how it comes to rest on my case
the pounding of a heart
like the shredder shredding me apart
i avoid the local bars and pubs
and I'm not living it up at the college clubs
i am afraid of life and death hardly seems real
be nice cause i don't let my mistakes heal
its a burning and bruise cry
i am even too afraid to die!
i am a selfless fool
especially to everyone that's cool
i think I'm critically observed
by the way my "strait line" curved
but really I'm not there
i am a ghost in the night air
its like i can hear what they say
but i am the ghost; no matter what i do or say
i hate me in a way
but i am here and...
i am an avoidant
