Insecure
Inner Visions Lyrics

[Bonus track]

Talk to me now
And express what's sleeping inside your head
Release the claws
There is not always blood on soldiers' blade
Who's frightening you, is your neighbour a bad boy or your best friend
He's smiling to you, but are you able to read what's inside his brain

Now be aware
SuperCop is here watching over you
He's taking care
Of weak souls hypnotized by TV news
Keep up the fear, don't let the big flames of agony be put out
Don't stay in the rear, the corner of your street's the end of your road

This is the last time I feel insecure
If evil's in town, I tumble down
We are free now because I am sure
That we're united as one
This is the last time I feel insecure
I won't cry anymore, I can ignore
And shut up now, I can be hidden
By hundreds and thousands of voices aloud

He is in jail
But do you really know why he's here
He shouts and yells
Then cries cos he can't control his fear
Young innocents, d'you know what we've done to let you live this hell
Dollars and cents know how to give you power, money often smells

This is the last time I feel insecure
If evil's in town, I tumble down
We are free now because I am sure
That we're united as one
This is the last time I feel insecure
I won't cry anymore, I can ignore




And shut up now, I can be hidden
By hundreds and thousands of voices aloud

Thank you spencer you’re helping me so much.and Because the your insucure made my heart skip a beat Here’s some more tips
I would recommend listening to little things by One Direction it really helped me with my body image and it’s a good song to just cry to
Or you can flat up just listen to any One Direction song most of their songs are about teenage struggles or girls problems that they wish girls didn’t have problems with if you look up some One Direction quotes you’ll realize they are very sweet guys
Here’s my favorites
1. Louis- there are a lot of insecure a girls out there and I wish I could just hold them and tell them how perfect they are
2.Niall-i’d rather be called a boy and play with paper airplanes then be called a man and play with a girls heart
3.Harry-it only takes a second to call a girl fat but she will take a lifetime starving herself watch what you say
4. Liam-The worst thing a boy could do is ignore a girl. When she’s giving him her whole heart
5.Zayn-just because you don’t have a prince does it mean you’re not a princess
