Smile

And I
Tend to overthink
And overstate
What's happening
In my brain

And I
Tend to be naive
And overfeel
And overreact

People are so stupid
Making real life out of movies
Faking ice cold to be groovy
It's so simple (complex) to make music
Know I'm hard and complicated
Life is frankly underrated
Shadows are domesticated
So it's simply plain

And I
I'm not sad
It's such a waste of time
I rather sing my mind away
And I
I'm not mad
It's such a waste of time
I rather pray my fears away

Emotional stability
Is lacking in this city
It's exclusive to some muses
Idiotic to be proven
Carelessly devoted
Social constructs are their motto
Make me overly self-conscious
Put that shit out of focus
Sentiment is so un-useful
What if chilling's the solution?
It's so crucial to be neutral
It's fine for men to smile

And I
I'm not sad
It's such a waste of time
I rather sing my mind away
And I
I'm not mad
It's such a waste of time
I rather pray my fears away

The future is so uncertain
But I ain't no Donna Sheridan
Cry behind the shower curtain
Blame it all on machines
I'm shameful of my pride
Asleep, awake at night
So tender and so kind
But I'm rude inside my mind
I've loved and lost 81 friends
246 fake grins
Where's my morning medicine?
Who's to say you're my friend?
Won't have sex until I'm married
It's a circus in this planet
All the motion's superficial
Common sense is upper wisdom

Know exactly who I am
Not precisely who I wanna become
If the dark is bland (Or boring or grey)
I'll land my spaceship over the sun

I'm not mad (Or sad or whatever)
It's such a waste of time
I rather blow your mind away

Great and strange ideas
Transcending experience
Often have less effect
On women and men than
Smaller, more tangible considerations
H.G. Wells said that
And it's just basically
What I was trying to say with this song
In case you didn't get it
So
Yeah
