lyrics

I showed up in plastic as to say that it was through
You seemed so ecstatic but what else were you to do
Oh, where was the sadness that I tried to make of you

I picked up a habit that I haven't tried to lose
I laid in the casket as I wrinkled my best suit
It's only as tragic as you want to make the truth

What are these conversations even about, anyway
I thought they had a purpose but all they have are some jokes to say
What are these conversations even about, anyway
I thought they had a purpose but all they have are some jokes to say

And if thinking before speaking was a full-time job
You'd be standing at the unemployment line
Begging for change while you try to say what's wrong and what's right

What are these conversations even about, anyway
I thought they had a purpose but all they have are some jokes to say
What are these conversations even about, anyway
You think you've got the answer but all you have is nothing

It's only as tragic as you want to make the truth
