lyrics

Maybe if I smile just the right amount
I can avoid the questions that will throw my life in doubt
If I wipe my feet in perfume
Pull back my unwashed hair
Could you see the human in me?

Maybe if I'm certain just the right amount
You won't even realize my throne sits on the ground
If I steady my existence like the bedframe that I sold
Could you see the human in me?

If I mended all my holes with threads I pulled unraveling the seams
That held the cover on my pending catastrophe
I could fool you for a moment when I pass you on the street

Maybe if I'm absent, just the right amount
You won't have to think about the reasons I'm around
If I manicure my silence like the lawn I'll never know
Could you see?

If I mended all my holes with threads I pulled unraveling the seams
That held the cover on my pending catastrophe
I could fool you for a moment when I pass you on the street
I could fool you for a moment when I pass you on the street

If I only spoke of flowers
If I tuck away my pain
If I promised that I've gone to cleanse my spirit yet again
If I hide away the hours that the civil people go
If I never let you know
If I never let you know
If I never let you know
If I never let you know

If I mended all my holes with threads I pulled unraveling the seams
That held the cover on my pending catastrophe
I could fool you for a moment when I pass you on the street

If I mended all my holes with threads I pulled unraveling the seams
That held the cover on my pending catastrophe
I could fool you for a moment when I pass you on the street
I could fool you for a moment
I could fool you for a moment
I could fool you for a moment
I could fool you for a moment
I could fool you for a moment when I pass you on the
