Selective

You've made quite a life for yourself
One better than you've dreamt
But it's weighing down

The sides of your mouth
To an appearing frown
There's more to it
Than it might sound

Sharpen your overacting skills
To cut through the tension
Mark your words with confidence
Selective attention

Try and steady yourself
But with one hand down
Losing balance

Take a look at your hometown
You're a different person now
The only one who hasn't changed
Only one who's stayed the same

Sharpen your overacting skills
To cut through the tension
Mark your words with confidence
Selective attention

Make it a point
To appreciate the life you lead
Don't rush the days
You'll wish they stayed for one year later

It's a tragic case of bad taste
But it's all concerning you
Who truly can appreciate
The mess you've made

It's a tragic case of bad taste
But it's all concerning you
Who truly can appreciate
The mess you've made

Sharpen your overacting skills
To cut through the tension
Mark your words with confidence
Selective attention

Sharpen your overacting skills
To cut through the tension
Mark your words with confidence
Selective attention
