I Am a Mystery

When I was quite young, for a time I went through a stage where I was a real monster
And then I realized that other people could see how hurt I was
And I didn't want anyone to see that I was hurt
So I just tried to be the opposite
And it worked, people believed that I didn't care

I am a mystery to you
You don't understand the things I do
Find me beneath the hollow tree
Winding a string of uncertainty

Somebody tell me where my mind is
Cause I cannot express to you the crisis
Something is in me like a virus
Eating from inside until I'm lifeless

How can you expect me not to take it
Like that when that's exactly what you meant
I was half-expecting you to fake it
I guess we're both disappointed now

The moon goes down without a sound
My heart begins to dread
I cannot explain to you the things inside my head, I'm restless

I am a mystery to you
You don't understand the things I do
Find me beneath the hollow tree
Winding a string of uncertainty
I am a mystery to you
You don't understand the things I do
Find me beneath the hollow tree
Winding a string of uncertainty

I can read your mind because I have visions every night
You try to get inside me but my aura won't allow it
I'll run from you forever till there's nowhere left to hide
The energies you're sending me I feel it isn't right

Although others didn't understand me so well
I was sitting there, my face must have been a mile long
And she more or less criticized me for it
She went as much as to say
Ah, there's nothing wrong with you
What are you looking so glum about
And that made you feel worse
That made me feel worse
