"Don't Be" expresses the emotional rollercoaster of childhood, the trials of growing up, and the often painful search for others' approval.

Play your violin child. Send your spiral down. Send it down.

Oh let it be wicked, child. Send your spirit out. Send it out.

Hold it down, hold it out. Bring me to peace on my knees.

Chorus:
Oh don't be a dangerous little monster. It's only here where you'll save me, here in your dark, bright eyes.
Don't be someone to carry over something that can't be seen. I'm not what I seem to be.

Oh let it be new, child. Hold it down till you can't breathe, can't breathe my love.

Oh let it be new, child. An unfamiliar glance, forbidden romance to dance with him.

Hold it down, hold it out, bring me to peace, on my knees.

Chorus

Don't be a dangerous little monster. It's only here where you'll save me, here in your dark, bright eyes. Don't be someone to carry over something that can't be seen. I'm not what I seem to be. x
