Explain Yourself

Cradle yourself
Like it’s no one’s fault
Leader of the dance floor your senses unfold

They stand behind you, there’s nothing there
Craving for attention, no tension in the air

Comfort yourself every now and then
Too numb, too dumb to be lucid once again

(Don’t look away, don’t look away)

Too many questions, your skin feels tight
Answers appear once you fade into the night

Save yourself
Don’t blame yourself
Contain yourself
Unchain yourself
Reclaim yourself
Explain yourself to me

When truth feels funny you make it bend
The safety of your vagueness is keeping you content

Mask all the flaws, can’t make them fit
The ones you have yet refuse to admit

All by yourself every now and then
Too numb too dumb to be lucid once again

(Don’t look away, don’t look away)

Too many questions, your skin feels tight
Answers appear once you fade into the light

So change yourself
Don’t fake yourself
Persuade yourself
Re-name yourself
Re-frame yourself
Explain yourself to me

(Don’t look away, don’t look away)
