A Different Side To You

STOLE ALL YOUR PARENTS LIQUOR FROM THE KITCHEN SHELF

TRYING TO CONVINCE EVERY HIGH SCHOOL SWEETHEART YOU’RE THE ONE

THEY’LL NEVER FORGET

TRIED TO MAKE YOUR LOVERS FOLKS FALL IN LOVE WITH ALL YOUR JOKES

SO YOU COULD STAY FOR DINNER

MAYBE STAY THE NIGHT

 

BUT YOU KNOW

YOU’RE NO ONE AT ALL

YOU STILL WEAR A MASK

TO PROTECT YOURSELF

THERE MUST BE A DIFFERENT SIDE OF YOU

THERE MUST BE A DIFFERENT SIDE OF YOU

 

BREAKING TIES WITH ALL THOSE THAT YOU SHOULD HAVE NEVER TRIED TO FOLLOW

CARDBOARD CLOUDS CAST A SHADOW

HOPE EXISTS DESPITE THEIR WITS

A KINGDOM BUILT UPON THE OTHERS RUBBLE

NOW THEY’RE ALL JUST WORKING FOR THE GOVERNMENT

AND YOU COULDN'T CARE LESS

 

BUT YOU KNOW

YOU’RE NO ONE AT ALL

YOU STILL WEAR A MASK

TO PROTECT YOURSELF

THERE MUST BE A DIFFERENT SIDE OF YOU

THERE MUST BE A DIFFERENT SIDE OF YOU

 

PULLING APART YOUR OWN LIFE JUST TO JUSTIFY IT TO OTHERS

KISSING EVERYONE YOU CAN FOR SOME SWEET SICK KIND OF VALIDATION

CUTTING DOWN TREES JUST TO WRITE SAD HISTORY THAT'S ONLY BOUND TO REPEAT ITSELF

 

THERE MUST BE A DIFFERENT SIDE OF YOU

THERE MUST BE A DIFFERENT SIDE OF YOU
