about

Scopophobia is defined as the excessive fear of being stared at. I saw it used a lot in the tumblr tagging system on photos or art of people looking directly at the viewer, so that's pretty much the only reason I was familiar with the term. It's about the internalized male gaze and sexual harassment. It never really feels like you're hidden. There's always something that needs posing.

lyrics

Isn’t it so special to be desired?
Take advantage of it now, before your pretty face expires.
Suddenly, I’m the girl again,
chased and blamed.
Another easy meal, a figure without a name.

But I keep my fingers crossed, I keep my eyes on the clock.
My time is running out.
Yes, Sir, I keep my knees crossed
and pray they can’t tell that I’m lost.
My luck is running out.

Unadulterated, unfiltered, unafraid.
Polluted, so careful, so scared, it’s been engrained.
Isn’t it so nice to be wanted?
They’ve got both eyes on you so flaunt it.

All I want is to be watched by you.
Everything I do is for you.

I’m never myself, I’m never alone.
There’s always a mirror, there’s always a window, there’s always the black screen of my phone.
It’s all just a game, it’s all an intricate performance.
But then again, who am I without an audience?
You turn this body into a cage,
but then again, who am I without a stage?
