kleenex girl wonder - picture the kid lyrics
[verse 1]
picture the kid walks into a myth
ears full of whispers, stiff upper lip
the bigger the fish, the thicker the skin
all things glitter, it is what it is
commissions will shift when business is brisk
don’t get it twisted, stick to the script
this isn’t a sprint so quit or commit
if you can’t go the distance, you should resist
[bridge 1]
the voices in your head that scream:
“don’t you wanna be seen like you wanna be seen?!”
[verse 2]
amazed at the size and the shape
of the eyes on the faces that follow you around
every day so wide and so strange
silence replaced with a hollow hissing sound
like a snake watching, lying in wait, taut
trying in vain to demarcate its home base
but it takes every ounce of restraint
not to shout the clichéd refrain, we’re not okay
[bridge 2]
alone in our empty houses
jumping at every sound we think we hear
until the shadows disappear
so we change our theories year after year
confident in our hypothesis
which is danger’s invalid fear ’cause on balance
the kindness of strangers is awfully erratic
best to depend on your friends when the end is near
[verse 3]
riddle me this, a village idiot
predicts the apocalypse, what does he win?
opinions are mixed and decisions are split
all we have in common are our differences
so i acknowledge the risks of heuristic instinct
but not all problems are logarithmic
when you get a glimpse of something ominous
if it isn’t a model, then it’s an abyss
[outro]
don’t be afraid to gaze if he’s staring
in the face and embrace the pain
the mistakes you’ve made and the things that you did
will [?] in the wind like picture the kid
