I feel uneasy
I feel unsafe
Like somebody's watching me
I think I need to hide my face

I'm in a crowded room
It feels like my mental impending doom
I feel the non-existent eyes,
Staring me down
I have to tell myself
Six thousand times that
'it's gonna be fine'
And that there really are no eyes
And I'm just lost in my mind

But
.

I feel uneasy
I feel unsafe
Like everyone's watching me
I think I need to hide my face

Their eyes are glued to their phone
But their mind must be running
Must be filled with thoughts of me
That they find 'funny'

I feel like hiding
I feel like dying

Is it selfish to think
That everyone's thinking of me?
Even when
I don't think that they think of me, in a way that I'll find loving
Just the thought of them thinking of me has me sick to my stomach

I feel uneasy
I feel unsafe
Like everyone's watching me
I think I need to hide my face
