My spirit has finally gone numb Considering all the knives that Have been thrown at me I guess it was bound to happen eventually, Right? I can only paint on a smile for so long Until I run out I can only pretend I didn't hear what you said for so long Before it becomes too loud And you'll wonder what's wrong with me And why I don't speak And why it seems like I've given up on everything lately All the while not realizing You contributed to me being this way Because I'm the weird one for thinking It's overkill to be burned at the stake But it's fine That's life right? You do everything they want and They still hunt down their best knives I guess I better run to the store To pick up some paint I'm going to need one hell of a smile To get through this day

Paint
My spirit has finally gone numb Considering all the knives that Have been thrown at me I guess it was bound to happen eventually, Right? I can only paint on a smile for so long Until I run out I can only pretend I didn't hear what you said for so long Before it becomes too loud And you'll wonder what's wrong with me And why I don't speak And why it seems like I've given up on everything lately All the while not realizing You contributed to me being this way Because I'm the weird one for thinking It's overkill to be burned at the stake But it's fine That's life right? You do everything they want and They still hunt down their best knives I guess I better run to the store To pick up some paint I'm going to need one hell of a smile To get through this day
I'm fine. I just really don't like my job.
