Dovetail Joint - Level On the Inside Lyrics

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..

"Level on the inside, level on the outside"

I'm content to know it
I don't need to show it
