Self Portrait

Lyrics

don't ask me what I'm doing tonight I only plan ahead fifteen minutes I don't believe in the typical things so take back your smile and the line you learned to get that ring when I rely on my considerable charm it only hides the pain just around the corner no use denying it's a cynical world and I can't do anything, no I can't do anything at all I had no clue things were this bad no one told me, nobody said, "hey, you, watch out" now that you know now that you found out please, please promise not to tell a soul history starts now there's no accountability I sit alone and I wait for it, wait for it I've got a secret I've kept for some time and I just want to leave all the lies and go shouting out, shouting out people keep doing what's wrong for as long as they can I'm the coward in back who keeps pushing and pushing and pushing shoving away all the people who love me the most you in the back sit up straight here comes your chance to impress the whole world don't lose your sleep, I won't get too close I shy away from the things I like to do the most
