[Lyric] Aliens Among Us (Noodle Charity)

[Verse 1]
I’m being nice for validation, having sex for self esteem
I do the right things for the wrong reasons when I feel like it
It’s so messed up, the way I’m feeling rotten to the very core
Afraid of you, afraid of her, it’s never safe at home

[Pre-Chorus]
Thank you, Dad, for raising me afraid to say a word
Nobody taught me to be strong and decent man you weren’t

[Chorus]
There are aliens among us
It’s my skin, it’s my blood, you don’t realise
The role that you played
My fears are homemade
This is the masquerade
It’s called Aliens Among Us

[Verse 2]
Give boy a mask, and he’ll confess
That his short life has been a mess
Obsessive love was all he knew
Self-hatred was his only fuel
Your father’s rage made you judge yourself
Protection by your mother became your worst disease
How do you even learn to help yourself
When someone always has you on a leash?
[Pre-Chorus]
I know he’s in my blood, I can’t change that. Maybe the only cure is acceptance
If we both spread plague, let’s be ashes
I’ll make sure that I’m burning brighter

[Chorus]
There are aliens among us
It’s my skin, it’s my blood, you don’t realise
The role that you played
My fears are homemade
This is the masquerade
It’s called Aliens Among Us

[Bridge]
That’s not right cause I don’t know what is
Away from you to find myself
Violet blood drops that kiss the floor
Colorful makeup to hide our pain
Get the hell out of my life
Before I know how to live it
Get the hell out of my life
Before I know it’s worth living

[Chorus]
There are aliens among us
It’s my skin, it’s my blood, you don’t realise
The role that you played
My fears are homemade
This is the masquerade
It’s called Aliens Among Us
