about

So... I wasn't sure what to say about this one. It's about social phobias, isolating, things of that nature. Not going to lie... I was feeling pretty glum when I wrote it, but the difference between now and a couple years ago is that I'm not wallowing in it. The negative feelings have passed and I'm feeling happy now. It's taken a lot for me to be able to do that. So I guess I just want you to know that if you ever need to talk because you're feeling glum, feel free to reach out. I know what it's like to want to hide. Things get better though. They do.

lyrics

I avoid the sun
And I avoid the moon
I can't be myself around you

I avoid the sun
And I avoid the moon
I can't be myself around you

Why is it that I only find peace in my mind?
I don't understand why I can't be me all of the time
I wonder why you all are unsafe in my mind
Now I only hide In My Room where I am fine

I am alive
In My Room

I avoid the sun
And I avoid the moon
I can't be myself around you

I avoid the sun
And I avoid the moon
I can't be myself around you

Every single time I try I am beat down from the lies
The only ones I trust I can't see but not 'cause I'm blind
My familiar friends are here with me safe in my room
It will take a lot for you to be here beside me too

I am alive
In My Room

I am alive
In My Room

I avoid the sun
And I avoid the moon
I can't be myself around you

The Anthropophobia Project Vancouver, Washington

I use music as my diary. I’m not terribly good with words, so I use melody to express myself. I use sound as a therapeutic outlet for emotions and feelings. Even though there are few lyrics, I wear my feelings on my sleeve. It’s the only place I’m able to open up completely. I was apprehensive releasing such personal songs, but the act of letting go is part of the therapeutic process. ... more
