"Clever" lyrics - BEARTOOTH

I guess being clever's just my safety net

I hide behind my cadence, I hide behind the wall
I built so tall, the weakness never spills
I hide all of my burdens, I twist my words so well
I'm breaking but the lie is what I sell

If I'm clever, you might never understand
I feel like death and me are walking hand in hand
When my happiness is hanging by a thread, I finally feel content
I guess being clever's just my safety net

I guess being clever's just my safety net

I tell you I feel better, I tell you I can sleep
I hope that it will bring a sense of peace
But all the nights are getting darker, the day becomes so bleak
Another day I'm conscious is another day I bleed

If I'm clever, you might never understand
I feel like death and me are walking hand in hand
When my happiness is hanging by a thread, I finally feel content

I'm so messed up and inconsistent in my head
I feel my passing only benefits my friends
When I know nothing I say matters in the end, I finally feel content
I guess being clever's just my safety net

I'm out of ways to answer, I'm out of metaphors
I finally got so sick, there is no cure
I'm out of ways to answer, I'm out of metaphors
I finally got so sick, there is no cure

If I'm clever, you might never understand
I feel like death and me are walking hand in hand
When my happiness is hanging by a thread, I finally feel content

I'm so messed up and inconsistent in my head
I feel my passing only benefits my friends
When I know nothing I say matters in the end, I finally feel content
I guess being clever's just my safety net

I guess being clever's just my safety net
