Rei brown - Xeno lyrics

I hear you laughing at me with
The echoes right behind me
I feel the air around me and
Your gaze upon my body
You look at me as if we are not the same
I try to run away like a bullet train

I turn around to find that there
Is nowhere I can hide
I wish I could reply but I
Don't have the heart to try
I think I'm gonna cry but
I keep pushing it inside
I stand there in the light as
You dissect me with your eyes

What am I made of
That you're afraid of?
Am I contagious?
I wanna wake up
It's been a couple hours and
The food is turning sour
Your voice is getting louder but
You're looking like a coward
You think that all I need is some clarity
You wanna try and put me in therapy

But don't you think I've tried
To sterilize my thoughts inside
I've prayed a million times and cried
Myself to sleep at night
But maybe you're not right and
We're just different by design
'Cause how can you decide who I
Can love and lay beside?

What am I made of
That you're afraid of?
Am I contagious?
I wanna wake up

What am I made of
That you're afraid of?
Am I contagious?
I wanna wake up
