Avoidance by Misgiving Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hey. Hi. My name's Ty
I'd say that it's real nice to meet you, but I've learned that its not good to lie
And since I'm so honest, I'll make you a promise that im not trying to be so rude
Really, I swear, it's me, not you
Its nothing personal, I'm just awkward and...
[Chorus]
Shy away and hide my face from everyone that it's in the room
'Cause if our eyes don't meet, then we won't speak, and I can't be a disappointment to myself or anyone else in here
Uncomfortable living in skin that feels rigid;
Surrounded by others that make it so clear
[Verse 2]
My mind, it drifts so closely behind my wandering eyes; wondering where they're off to as they dart from side to side inside the room, just like my legs. I dig a trench from all my pacing
My heart is always racing as it screams at me repeatedly to make my fucking exit
This pressure in my chest it makes it hard for me to breathe, and so I make up all these reasons just to leave and be at home, or be alone inside my mind
But when by myself, I fear the worst for my own health, yet still I...
[Chorus]
Shy away and hide my face from everyone that it's in the room
'Cause if our eyes don't meet, then we won't speak, and I can't be a disappointment to myself or anyone else in here
Uncomfortable living in skin that feels rigid;
Surrounded by others that make it so clear
[Post-Outro]
Now that my hiding space has become commonplace, I just want to feel safe and live to see another day. (x4)
[Chorus]
Shy away and hide my face from everyone that it's in the room
'Cause if our eyes don't meet, then we won't speak, and I can't be a disappointment to myself or anyone else in here
(To anyone in here)
Uncomfortable living in skin that feels rigid;
Surrounded by others that make it so clear
[Outro]
You make it so clear. I don't want to disappoint you. You make it clear, so I hide my face
