We Wear Them Well

from Stock Characters by Dead Uncles

/

lyrics

Faces look the same. It’s all in how I squint. Think I recognize the blobs or at least their half smiling. And some have long distance eyes, close enough to hide. Ideals or eyelids are all I recognize. I find myself nodding slow to every lazy disguise. An all-purpose response that I used to not mind. Blank expressions weren’t meant to be worn this thin, a not-so-clever way of trying to fit in. But it works for me. I got a face just like a memory. The grounds there to catch each stare. Collecting at our feet, so we trip before we meet. Maybe we’d just rather be side notes, mumbling everything we think we know. Half-hatched plans, like signs around our neck. We wear them well with grins that just don’t fit. These conversation pieces make me bored. Disingenuous and on our own accord.
