Colons & Parentheses

[rckstr29]

Every message ends the same
You stamp a little smiley face
And you want to make me believe your so happy
But it's just a mask of a colon and parentheses
In a fake smiley

{Chorus}
You think your so clever to fool the whole world
But I see through into your soul
If you want to talk I'm here listen
But stop this foolery
You can't make a cadaver pretty
By adorning jewellery

Now I'm on to your silly games
You insist on being the optimist
Even when it's all a petty sham that ends in tragedy
And all the colons and parentheses
Won't be there to smile during your eulogy

{Chorus}

I'm here to break you down into the simplest components
I'm not here to act as your opponent
Simplicity is beautiful and you've got it in you
It's true
You can drop this whole charade and be you

{Chorus}

Every message ends the same
I don't know why I even came
But God so help me if I smile
She tells me you'd think it insane
But I actually haven't smiled in awhile
And all the colons and parentheses
Go back to being meaningless keys
When compared to the genuine thing
