You come on over to say hi
You just want to chat
I seem like a fun guy
There is nothing wrong with that

It is just something to do
All our talking is small
How are things with you
I like the art on your wall

It is so totally normal
It happens every day
Easy and informal
It’s just that game we all play

I look you in the eyes
And it seems like we connect
You’d probably be surprised
I hope you never suspect

That I’m screaming inside
I am just so full of panic
I just wish that I had died
Feeling completely volcanic
I could explode at any moment
Melt myself from inside out
Make myself feel so abhorrent
Overwhelmed by my own doubts

You’re a friend of a friend
I just want to be polite
but I really want this to end
and get on with my night

I put on a fake smile
I try to follow along
I will be stuck here a while
But I don’t really belong

I struggle hard to join in
I try to make some funny joke
But very much to my chagrin
The words get stuck and I choke

In the end I end up silent
And make a bad impression
It is basically like I’m absent
It just fuels my depression

I’m screaming inside
I am just so full of panic
I just wish that I had died
Feeling completely volcanic
I could explode at any moment
Melt myself from inside out
Make myself feel so abhorrent
Overwhelmed by my own doubts
