| I have my dubious motives
|
| For my fatuous friends
|
| I have a need to be needed
|
| And feel superior again
|
| And I’d rather be shallow
|
| Blind deaf and dumb
|
| I can’t afford the risk of
|
| Feeling anything but numb
|
| (oh no! — shhh! can you see me? can you see me? don’t come too close to my
|
| exposure — I can’t expose myself -not to anyone — do you hear me?
|
| — not to anyone)
|
| And I am such a coward
|
| And I am such a fake
|
| I like too keep my pulse down
|
| To soothe this beating ache
|

|
| exposure — I can’t expose myself -not to anyone — do you hear me?
