Lyrics
When I'm alone, always feel like somebody's in my home
Feeling a sense of intrusion when alone, as if someone is present in the home
Somewhere far away, watching me like I'm on stage
Sensing a distant observer, watching as if the speaker is on a stage
So forgive me if I come off a little uneasy
Apologizing for potential uneasiness, attributing it to the nature of the speaker's reality
I am afraid it's a job hazard of this reality
Expressing fear, considering it a job hazard inherent in the speaker's reality
I'm uneasy about anything that might perceive me
Expressing discomfort regarding anything that might perceive the speaker
Keep your eyes closed, parts of my soul your vision cannot go
Encouraging others to close their eyes, indicating parts of the speaker's soul are off-limits to vision
I'm a landing for sailing ships misunderstanding

Shores are my clothes, respectfully, some things you will not know

Invisible, some kind of free
Describing oneself as invisible and possessing a certain kind of freedom
In my own home, breathing easy in a blindfold

I'm an unknown, haunted house made of marrow and bone
Portraying oneself as an unknown, haunted house made of marrow and bone
I'm on fire, hoping when the light expires
Expressing a sense of urgency or intensity, hoping for relief when the light expires
Nobody sees, not perceived, some kind of free
