American Gothic
Sometimes I'll just sit there and play a song
It doesn't help
It probably makes me more withdrawn
At least I can say that I'm consistent
Someone called me out?
I guess I missed it
A constant stream of confrontation in all situations
A confirmation of causation
I need a vacation
I think I think too much
At least that's what I'm thinking
I'm sinking while I'm singing
I just can't let that sink in
We all make assumptions
We all speculate
We all make mistakes that we can't unmake
Look at all this commotion
Is this the path we've chosen?
Engage the conditioned emotion
Let's act like we're happy
Just imagine what it would be like if we were happy
Should it hurt my face when I try to smile?
Is this how I'm supposed to do it?
Guess it's been a while
I don't think I learned this trick in high school
I think that smiling's overrated
But I'm overruled
My honesty lacks modesty constantly
The world seems more like dramedy than comedy
All questions still remain
No one has an answer
Disaster's the master
We can't stop this cancer
We all make assumptions
We all speculate
We all make mistakes that we can't unmake
Look at all this commotion
Is this the path we've chosen?
Engage the conditioned emotion
Let's act like we're happy
Just imagine what it would be like if we were happy
I'm just like you
I guess that's why
We get along
Why we get by
We'll get by
I close my chest
To hide the rest
Of myself
But you can tell
Please don't tell
Look at all this commotion
Is this the path we've chosen?
Engage the conditioned emotion
Let's act like we're happy
Just imagine what it would be like if we were happy
It doesn't help
It probably makes me more withdrawn
At least I can say that I'm consistent
Someone called me out?
I guess I missed it
A constant stream of confrontation in all situations
A confirmation of causation
I need a vacation
I think I think too much
At least that's what I'm thinking
I'm sinking while I'm singing
I just can't let that sink in
We all make assumptions
We all speculate
We all make mistakes that we can't unmake
Look at all this commotion
Is this the path we've chosen?
Engage the conditioned emotion
Let's act like we're happy
Just imagine what it would be like if we were happy
Should it hurt my face when I try to smile?
Is this how I'm supposed to do it?
Guess it's been a while

Engage the conditioned emotion
Let's act like we're happy
Just imagine what it would be like if we were happy
