Stop Looking from Pleasure Vision by Bacchae

Get a little closer
as I walk across the room
There’s sweat on my neck
When I’m looking at you

Go a little deeper
As I’m sitting to the side
Heartbeat in a headache
And there’s nowhere left to hide

I wish everybody’d stop looking at me!
I wish everybody’d stop looking at me!
I try so hard to be it
But they never let me breathe
I wish everybody’d stop looking at me!

Looking in the mirror
Is the twisted thing to do
Picking at the surface
Until I am red and cruel

Going out in public
Is the worst thing in the world
I wanna be unbothered, see!
I want some fucking privacy!

I wish everybody’d stop looking at me!
I wish everybody’d stop looking at me!
I try so hard to be it,
But they never let me breathe
I wish everybody’d stop looking at me!

But they never let me breathe!
