all the trials you've endured

Around and around, the refrain

rings the same each time it's heard

Entertain the notion, that the only thing I hear

Is the crack of a smile, in a face that ain't so sincere

When measuring out your quality

It is only as deep as your modesty

As your insides fall to pieces

Shattered by the silent treatment

Things are only fragile till they break

Feigning your humility

It only serves to weaken the

Most common observations that you make

Drown me out in conversation

Surf a wave of provocation

Wash away my interest in your wake

I think you can, reach a place

where the impetus is pure

You'll understand, a disgrace

is the thing that makes us feel..
