In the Eyes of My Friends (Live)

I don't want you to look at me though the eyes of a stranger
 Because you might come to realize that I am stranger
 Than a fish that never fries, than an eye that never cries
 Than people who swear up and down that they have never lied
 Regardless, insecurities that others may perceive
 Are benign in the eyes of my friends
 I don't need you to see me flailing at my nervous habits
 Each one taunting me for being unable to stab it
 Digging holes inside my head about what I should have said
 Wishing I could find an answer or a little to shed
 Regardless, insecurities that others may perceive
 Are benign in the eyes of my friends
 I don't want you to always know exactly how I feel
 I need your help to weather what the epicenter deals
 When doubt is held at bay, but the surface rubs away
 The sun is shining everywhere, but I can't find a ray
 Regardless, insecurities that others may perceive
 Are benign in the eyes of my friends
