I do not know why I would go
In front of you and hide my soul
‘Cause you’re the only one who knows it
Yeah, you’re the only one who knows it
And I will hide behind my pride
Don’t know why I think I could lie
‘Cause there’s a screen on my chest…
~*~
Call it a conversation, or another bad decision
Talk is cheap, but you’re costing me more than you’re worth
The casualties counted, words set to ignition
But I’ll salvage what I can and I’ll try to keep my insults curt
.
You’re searching for a purpose, I’m looking for a reason
Differences aside, you can’t stay clever if you’re wrong
Listen carefully now, don’t make me repeat myself twice
Because I don’t really want you to misunderstand my lies
.
Pay attention, this can’t go on, go find another friend to ruin
With your pitiful convictions—or better yet, simply stay alone
Sober is your middle name, but your vision keeps on spinning
Ignorance can’t be your bliss if all you ever do is mumble and groan
.
While I endure the problems, getting addicted to gnashing teeth
For there’s comfort in this car crash, fracturing every fucking bone
I held your hand like you asked, you went ahead and twisted my wrist
But you can’t complain forever, and I know that I should have known
.
That this is not a conversation, just another bad decision
You speak sweetly with silver linings—but fuck that, I need gold
Casualties buried now, falling out of spellbound sedation
But I’ll walk away while I still can, and you can choke on what you’re told.
~*~
We’re broken people, oh
I’m standing in front of you
I’m standing in front of you
I’m trying to be so cool
Everything together
Trying to be so cool…
