I know you
I know all about you
You see things that other people dont see that makes you nervous
If your hands would stop shaking
You'd wipe the cold sweat off your brow
Its hard for you to think
But you dont need to very much
because the voices in your head usually tell you what to do
you consider yourself to be invisible
and its true in a way
because everybody can see right through you
Other people can even read your thoughts
although they'll never let you know it for sure
when you leave the room
everyone discusses you and has a good laugh
you used to have some friends
but they dont come around much anymore
probably because its hard for them to keep a straight face
in your presence
when you go out
you need to be very careful
things always seem to happen too fast
if someone accidentally brushes against you,
you jerk away in a panic,
that you foolishly hope noone will notice
you go into
a place of business
and see a security camera,
you try to beam pleasant, inocuous, thoughts at it
you make a feeble to be non-chalant until you are out of its range
if you see a book or magazine,
it usually has a picture of yourself on the cover
one taken by such a camera
these pictures are skillfully retouched to look like someone else
in order to mock you
you never read books or magazines because they contain secret messages
hidden in multiple layers of meaning
that make you do things you cant remember later

(i know all about you)

your nights are rough
you stay in your apartment with the shades drawn
and all the lights off, watching television
you keep the sound turned off and try to be very quiet
because you want everyone to think youre asleep
and all night long a disembodied voice from the back of your head
sings over and over
somewhere there is a place for us

(think, think, think)
