Level On The Inside Lyrics

Joint Dovetail Level On The Inside

You sit me down
To explain
All the trials you've endured
Around and around
The refrain
Rings the same each time it's heard
Entertain the notion
Entertain the notion
That the only thing I hear
Is the crack of a smile
In a face
That ain't so sincere

Chorus:
When I'm 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 'til 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 this outside
I'm content to know it
Level on the inside (level on the outside)
Level on the outside
I don't need to show it

Chorus
