A Soreness So Familiar It Soon Becomes Unquestioned
[Verse]
The choice between attack or to apologize
I find contrived white lies so no more anger will arise
This harmony isn't mutual but maybe I am condescending
Allowing qualms that cause alarm to all remain unmentioned
I try and calm you down, I just coax you into smoking
So you can share my numbness and assume I'm only joking
When I sass you with a smile, I see you didn't notice
The quiver in my voice, the fact my bow is broken
I had a nosebleed when I woke up, then I didn't go to work
I find my problems are all first-world but still I'm feeling hurt
Well-seasoned perspective, it makes me hate myself
I can complain of my sadness but I have more than someone else
Am I just a spoiled brat who taught themselves how to cry?
Who's so preconditioned now, all their emotions are a lie?
I close my eyes and look inside, no surprise I find nothing
It's people who shape each other and people are disgusting
[Outro]
'At least' isn't helping
