lyrics

This glib substitute for wit
Drips from smirking lips
And I hope I've applied
Just the right amount of glint to my eye
To imply
All I'm saying is a sarcastic lie

Sincerity
It buries me
Under the weight
Of having to be
A real person
What a burden

I'm hoping cynicism
Will pass as lyricism
And I'm hoping conviction
Will mask repetition
Will mask repetition

Maybe I
Should excercise
My demons at the gym
(Happiness is for the thin)
And the sting
From injecting the steroids in
Forms my features into a sickening grin

Get set
Jet set
Budget airline to warmer climbs
I recycle so it's fine.
I set flight to the Twittersphere with alarming alacrity
To ensure all my small talk is broadcasted publicly
And I moan
And I spout negativity
But for once I'm going to try and say something honestly:

Why am I
So petrified
Of looking you in the eye?
Over time
I think I've learnt to hide
How much I struggle with the mundane
How much I struggle with the day to day
I hope this resonates with you in some way
