When you think they're looking at you,
They're looking at me.

You having your eyes fixated on me,
I'm not the king so don't go looking at me that way.

I'm lost for what to say,
What to do and everything untold.

Don't give me that look,
Lower your gaze,
Hold your head down,
You're not above me now,
No.

I can't tell if you're lying,
I can't tell if you're faking,
I can't even tell if you're looking,
But,
I know you are,
So stop!

Logic out the door just like that
Mind blown and burnt, right?
Keep your eyes closed and ignore all the obvious signs,
Because you know I'm looking.

There's something you don't know about me,
Don't try to.
There's going to be an evil uprising,
Just stop me, if you can.
There's you right there,
I can't believe that you
Stare at me when you should stare at you.

Maybe
The sun is shining,
and
The rain is falling,
And you just want to stare.
Hmm...

I do so many things,
And all you do is say "no, no"
Well, if you had a reason,
Then I would co-operate.
But, you didn't,
So?
Don't stare blank at me,
I don't want to stare at you!

Everything is changing...
Are you changing?
Please change.
Don't stare at me!
