Enigma

I can't get naked

And ruin the element of surprise

I can't get private

Or show you how much I love the sunrise



I can't be desperate

I can't be weakened

I can't be depressed

I can't be human



Refrain:
Can't reveal melancholia

Can't indulge in some nostalgia

Growing pains cause hysteria

But I have to give them an enigma



Our first impressions

Like watercolors we chose to show first

Vampires in the sun

It's too premature to confess their thirst



I can't be joyous

I can't look ahead

I must seem alive

When my spirit's dead



Repeat Refrain
