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
 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 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
 Well 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, I'm content to know it
 Level on the inside, level on the outside
 I don't need to show it
 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 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
 (Shattered by the silent treatment)
 Fragile till they break down
 (As your insides fall to pieces)
 (Shattered by the silent treatment)
 Fragile till they break down
 (As your insides fall to pieces)
 (Shattered by the silent treatment)
