Helmet Album

I'm not so good realizing
Who I can or cannot trust
It's best to keep what matters vague
With harmless lies I can adjust
I get a "D" for disappointment
Now there's nothing to regret
Everybody's good for something
At least you know what you won't get
I let you down again
What's another harmless
Lie between friends?
Now you can be disappointed
I thought I gave you just exactly
What you wanted

The elevation
Keeps my feet from getting wet
If my head feels light
It must be that the air is thin
I throw my arms up
I don't have very far to fall
I can't get hurt now
Nothing interests me at all
If I'm inflexible I'm right
It comes so easy
But I won't bore you with my insight
I'm dedicated
To anything that I can hate
It's what I'm used to
I need time to commiserate
And if I bore you I don't mind
I'm disagreeable
So tell me something good
And I'll deny it
If I see something I don't mind
I'll never let on
Any good that you might find
I'll simply yawn
I'm not inflexible I'm right
It comes so easy
But I won't bore you with my insight

Affected by what you had lost
They're not the habits you'd protect
At any cost
Blur the details of your hand
Anything your barren conscience
Can't defend
The limits of attention span
Successive thoughts you don't have
But you still pretend
Keep on talking anyway
Protected by what you know
No one will ever say
Because you can't be pure
You're self-assured
