Lyrics:

My bitten down fingernails
Are tell tale signs of my one thousand
Miniature break downs
And I'm hiding my scars with long sleeves
Cause you don't get to see the real me
In case you turn around

You're oblivious
And I can see that in your eyes
You don't realise the extent of the situation
So, you've caught me a little low
But there's so much I don't want you to see
So I'm hiding behind this modern adaptation
...of me

I'm pulling my hair out
In nervous apprehension
In case you discover me
But my neurotic behaviour
Has gotten you searching harder
For an interpretation to me

You're oblivious
And I can see that in your eyes
You don't realise the extent of the situation
You say I'm intriguing
But there's so much I don't want you to know
So I'm hiding behind this modern adaptation
...of me

Biting my bottom lip
Until it almost bleeds
And you say it's just another idiosyncrasy
But it'll soon get tiresome
All these weaknesses and insecurities
When you figure out it's all just the makings of pure insanity.

You're oblivious
And I can see that in your eyes
You don't realise the extent of the situation
So, you've caught me a little low
But there's so much I don't want you to see
So I'm hiding behind this modern adaptation
...of me
