"Plastered and Oblivious"

I find it hard to make actual eye contact

Looking at you with my smiling eyes,

Plastered with my fake smile that could be deemed as pleasant.

This is not me.

This is what I think you want me to be

Need me to be.

I don't care about what your kid did today,

Or about the present your wife got you.

I could care less about your worldly views

Or the new drink you bought from Starbucks.

I know I may sound a bit narcissistic

But I could care less about most things

If only you people had a damn clue.

When someone starts a conversation and they talk and talk,

Not allowing you to get a micro word in is nauseating,

Because I'm bored by your mundane words and thoughts

Nothing that you say has any relativism to my life or to anyone's for that matter

While your lips are moving up and down

I am wondering when the bomb is gonna go off in your head,

So I don't have to hear about what Brandon was trying to pressure me to do this weekend.

Day after day I have a face,

And night after night I lay.

When am I going to smile for real,

And actually mean what I fucking say
