Brown Recluse

Every time someone walks by Says hi how are you doin' I look down at the ground Avoid their eye just to get through It seems to me that to have apathy When people give me pleasantries Is rude, I try to reply I don't mean to be crude I say I'm alright And you say good I don't reciprocate Though I know I should Are you okay? I say I'm fine I'm afraid of bad impressions And wasting your time Hey, what was your name again? I'm bad with names But I wanna be your friend I get nervous and forget Everything that you said I just can't escape From this cage in my head Please, I just want some kind of chance I'm not even looking for romance I'm just looking for a friend To call my own 'Cause I know I don't have any Waitin at home I sulk around with headphones on Not playin any songs So I can ignore when I'm asked if somethings wrong It seems to me a pointless exercise To ask me why I can't socialize With my thoughts so polarized I could be better More polite But for some reason I just can't get it right It's easy for infractions To happen in interactions I'm a little brash when I go with gut reactions Hey, what was your name again? I'm bad with names But I wanna be your friend I get nervous and forget Everything that you said I just can't escape From this cage in my head Please, I just want some kind of chance I'm not even looking for romance I'm just looking for a friend To call my own 'Cause I know I don't have any Waitin at home I sit at home and try to relax And tell myself not to overreact I wanna curl up and Hide inside my shoes Like some kind of Brown recluse Waiting to give my foot the tooth I said I'm fine Don't come inside My muddy mind needs to be clarified My thoughts are fuzzy My breathing's tight I don't want you to step on me And I don't wanna bite
