You stay out so late - Just to build connection They say, “Hey, man you were great.” But they don’t even have the slightest affection That you’re really not doing okay And maybe tonight you could barely even play The show it must go on even if they don’t even come The colors and the callous turn you into a strange and silent one And maybe if you were harsh? Maybe if you weren’t you people would seem to care about what it is you even do? Maybe if you tried harder to seem like you didn’t love it- but you do
But they’re better than you Don’t give into fodder And don’t pander a smile And give yourself a second And give yourself a while But believe all that you hear And a**ume that they’re all watching And force some words out of your mouth While all their eyes are watching And maybe if you were harsh? Maybe if you weren’t you people would seem to care about what it is you even do? Maybe if you tried harder to seem like you didn’t love it- but you do But they’re better than you
