lyrics

-----------------------------------------------
smile wide/no need to hide
what we present on the outside
maintain the pose just to survive
just play along and hope to get it right

at times i talk too much and should just shut up
at times i don’t say enough
talk too much or don’t say enough

self-preservation
in conversation
a series of phrases in constant rotation
how are you?
"i'm doing fine"
i know you don't wanna listen to me whine

incessant prattle just to fill a void
i hate the sound of my own voice

less is more/more or less
i sit and stew in silence
i think too much
-----------------------------------------------
